The traffic police stop traffic on both sides of the highway running through a forest and ask the motorists to stay calm as a tiger emerges from one side and strolls across the highway to enter the forest on the other side.</p>
<p>
The video shared by Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan has been shot by some motorist present on the spot.</p>
<p>
While Kaswan was not sure which part of Maharashtra the video originated from, those aware of the local area said on Twitter that the spot  was on National Highway 353D between Brahmapuri and Nagbhir in Maharashtra.</p>
