What did the British officer's secretary tell the Maharaja? Why did the Maharaja refuse permission?

Solution

One time, a high ranking British officer’s secretary sent word that the Durai wanted a photograph of himself holding the gun and standing over the tiger’s carcase. The actual killing would be done by the Maharaja. Out of self respect, the Maharaja refused him permission because he had banned the killing of tigers in his state.
