NEWSLINK: Roar sends villagers shivering as tiger makes day-time kill

Loud roar left Sunni Sarai residents shuddering on Monday afternoon. After sometime, they gathered strength to come out of their houses and moved in a group in the direction of the roar. Their search ended at village pond where tiger had killed a blue bull a few minutes earlier. The carcass was still lying there as a proof of elusive tiger's presence in the area.

Petrified villagers immediately informed the forest department and a combing operation was launched with the help of two tuskers in jungles of Munj and Narkul close to Sunni Sarai.

This is tiger's first kill in day hours, ever since it strayed into the region on November 11. The day-time hunting has shocked forest department teams as the feline had killed either in the night or during wee hours.
