What was the result of the Maharajas refusal to let the British officer hunt tigers?

When the Maharaja refused to let the British officer hunt tigers in his kingdom, it resulted in the officer becoming deeply offended. The officer, feeling insulted by the refusal, reported the incident to his superiors. As a result, the Maharaja was summoned to meet the British political agent, who demanded that the Maharaja apologize and allow the officer to hunt. To avoid further trouble and to protect his position, the Maharaja reluctantly agreed, but only after ensuring that the tigers were weak and no challenge to the officer. This diplomatic maneuver helped him avoid a political crisis while maintaining control over the tiger population.
