The Maharaja passed a law allowing none of his subjects to hunt tigers but him. Within 10 years, he was able to kill 70 tigers. He devoted all of his time in achieving his ambition of killing tigers instead of attending to stately affairs and was also at the risk of losing his throne because he had refused to allow a British officer to go on a tiger hunt or pose with a carcass of one killed by the Maharaja himself. When the Tigers began to get extinct, Maharaja told his Dewan that he wanted to marry into a royal family of a state with a large population of tigers. The Dewan found the suitable girl. Maharaja planned to kill five or six tigers each time he visited his father-in-law. Thus he was able to kill 99 tigers.
