A tiger was killed after being run over by a goods train in Maharashtra's Gondia district on Monday morning, a forest official said.

The incident took place around 8 am between Gongli and Hirdamali railway station on the Balharshah-Gondia route in the district located in the state's Vidarbha region, he said.

Hiradamali station master alerted forest officials about the incident.
