A 70-year-old man was mauled to death by a tiger in a forest in Madhya Pradesh’s Seoni district, and angered by the attack, villagers assaulted two forest officials, an official said on Friday.<\/p>\n
The victim, Tulsiram Bhalavi, was returning from the Bawli Tola forest area after grazing cattle when a big cat attacked and killed him on Thursday evening, the official said.<\/p>\n
Following the incident, angry villagers assaulted ranger Ghanshyam Chaturvedi and deputy ranger Sanjay Khuntapalle and injured them. They also vandalised their vehicles, he said.<\/p>\n
The official said the police registered a case against villagers for rioting, causing obstruction in official work and damaging government properties and vehicles.<\/p>\n
Talking to PTI on Friday, Seoni sub-divisional forest officer Yugesh Patel said the victim’s body was recovered from Pindari beat.<\/p>\n
He said Tulsiram was returning from the forest with his cattle when a tiger attacked and killed him near a farm.<\/p>\n
Patel said the deceased man’s family was given Rs 10 lakh assistance, and the forest officials injured in the attack by the villagers are being treated.<\/p>\n
Seoni district’s Superintendent of Police (SP) Sunil Kumar Mehta said a case has been registered against 11 accused and some unidentified persons involved in assaulting forest officials and vandalising vehicles.<\/p>\n
He said further investigation is underway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
