The incident occurred when the group stopped their vehicle at Mandradiyar after spotting a herd of deer grazing at Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR).

Masinagudi forest officials penalized three tourists from Andhra Pradesh with a fine of Rs 15,000 for disturbing a herd of spotted deer on the Masinagudi-Theppakadu road inside the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR) on Saturday.

Three members—identified as Abdullah Khan (23), Abdul Aziz (28), and Ibrahim Sheikh (30)—entered the forest area, shouting loudly, as per a report on The New Indian Express.

Arunkumar, a fine of Rs 15,000 was imposed, reported DT Next. After paying the penalty, the individuals were released with a stern warning.
