Woman’s body found after 12 hours
The deceased woman has been identified as 35-year-old Usha Devi. She along with her neighbor 32-year-old Gundhguni Devi were cutting fodder in the area adjacent to the forest on Saturday evening. According to Gundhguni Devi, suddenly the tigress attacked Usha Devi, grabbed her neck and dragged her towards the sugarcane field. Seeing this she ran away in fear and raised an alarm.
As soon as information about the incident was received, the villagers and the forest department were informed. Ranger Bhupendra Singh and his team reached the spot and conducted a combing operation throughout the night. On Sunday morning, the half-eaten body of Usha Devi was recovered from the same sugarcane field.
