Maharashtra farmer becomes 14th victim of man-eater tiger

A man from Yavatmal district in Maharashtra became the 14th victim of a tiger in the Pandharkawda-Ralegaon forest belt, a forest official said on Sunday.

The incident occurred on Saturday when Wagoji Raut had gone to his farm in Virgaon village in Yavatmal district, he said.

The tiger has created panic among villagers in the forest belt since the last 18 months, despite efforts of the forest department to trap the man-eater big cat.
