The boy was killed by a wild tiger after killing the woman



A Wild Tiger, which had earlier killed a boy, has killed a young woman today in the Dhorar Forest Range. The partial body of the unidentified woman was found outside Bhuvapur village in the morning after people noticed a trail of blood and pugmark of the tiger. The recent incident has prompted the Lakhimpur Kheri Forest Division to initiate the process of declaring the tiger as a man-eater.
