Bagaha: A tiger killed a farmer in a paddy field outside the forest area of Valmiki Tiger Reserve (VTR) in Bagaha of Bihar's Pashchim Champaran district on Wednesday. The villagers said tigers have been frequently straying out of the original habitat and entering the human settlements.
According to sources, the man from Bihar's Kala Bairiya had gone for work in the paddy field when suddenly the tiger hiding inside the bushes came from behind and dragged him into the forest. The other laborers working there started running away in fear and informed the forest department officials about the incident.
