Referring to the number of tigers in Sariska currently, Yadav said, “Ab tak chhappan ho gaye (There are 56 so far),” citing the title of the Nana Patekar-starrer film by the same name. Tongue firmly in cheek, he went on to say that some people have a problem with the figure ’56’, even though it is a good number.© The Indian Express Pvt Ltd Tags:Bhupender YadavDelhi Confidential
