Man-Eating Tiger

Man-Eating Tiger Forces Residents Of Uttar Pradesh Village Into House Arrest

Despite repeated attempts of capture, a tiger in Lakhimpur Kheri village is still roaming free after having killed three people since August 15 this year. Two of its victims were killed in a span of 24 hours! 

Forest officials have been trying to bait the tiger but the latest effort resulted in failure as the tiger was able to get the bait but avoided capture. Officials are hoping that the tiger will not attack any more humans as it has just eaten half a calf. 

However, the grim fact remains that a tiger that has once killed a man, will return to do so again. DFO, South Kheri, Sanjay Biswal who has visited the village thrice, told TOI, "We are closely monitoring the situation and the villagers have sufficient security at present.

The tiger has eaten a calf and it is a very positive sign because the tiger may not attack the villagers. All our experts are working hard day and night and positive result is expected soon."
