Tiger enters village, chills on cot

Recently, in December, a 3-year-old tiger attacked a villager in Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh.

According to information, the tiger first injured the villager and then enetered a house in Choti Beldi village, located near the Panpatha buffer zone of Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve.

When the Forest Department reached the spot, they found it chilling on a cot inside the house. The tiger was later safely rescued and shifted to the Baheraha enclosure inside the reserve.

An official from the Panpatha range said the tiger was first seen in a nearby field around 9 am.

Forest staff reached the area to manage the situation, but a large crowd had already gathered, with many villagers filming the animal on their mobile phones despite repeated appeals to disperse.
