Two people have died in a tiger attack in Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh on Sunday, while the third saved his life by climbing a tree.
Two tigers that were hiding in the bushes on the side of the Ghunghchai-Diuria road in the Tiger Reserve area of ​​Pilibhit, attacked the three victims on Sunday night.
Pilibhit Sanctuary Deputy Director Naveen Khandelwal said on Monday that due to nightfall, forest personnel posted on the broken bridge barrier of Deoria range stopped them on the way and warned them of the danger of wild animals.
He said that the motorcycle riders entered the unsafe area by dodging the forest personnel.
The third rider Vikas who saved his life by climbing on a tree for the whole night said, "On reaching the Deoria forest on the Ghungchai-Deoriya road, a forest worker at the forest post stopped the bike and said that there would be a tiger ahead. But we proceeded in a hurry to reach the village.
Just 15 minutes after entering the jungle we saw two tigers sitting on the side of the road; we were blown away. We stopped the bike at some distance from the tigers in fear and panic but before we could recover a tiger jumped on the bike and all three of us fell.
I climbed a tree a short distance away. While my friends Sonu and Kandhai were running on the road. , a tiger attacked Sonu and killed him. I saw a glimpse of it.
Meanwhile, Kandhai also took the opportunity to climb a tree that the tiger caught hold of him too. I closed my eyes out of panic. I thought I would be killed too. The tigers could not be seen in the morning. Maybe they had lost my track.
