Morena (Madhya Pradesh): A tiger has escaped from Rajasthan’s Ranthambore Tiger Reserve and entered Madhya Pradesh’s Morena district. The tiger was spotted roaming around in Runipura village of Joura tehsil on Thursday, and attacked a man who was making a video of the tiger.

As soon as the locals spotted the beast, they informed the forest department about the incident. A forest department team reached the spot immediately and started operations for the rescue and capture of the tiger. During the operation, the carnivore attacked a man trying to film the whole process. After much toil, the forest department officials managed to rescue the man, now identified as Dinesh Jain. Dinesh is a journalist in a local news channel.

After leaving the man, the tiger fled the scene and hid under a dilapidated hut. Joura police have admitted the injured man to a nearby hospital.

According to forest official Vinod Upadhyay, the tiger is named Mohan and the rescue operations to catch him are still on.

Locals living under fear
