LAKHIMPUR KHERI, Nov. 16 -- A man identified as Chandrika Prasad, 65, lost his life in the Dudhwa buffer zone when a wild animal believed to be a tiger attacked near his home in Vrindavan Colony in Sampurnanagar on Friday night, said forest department officials. Officials said the incident occurred while he was in the fields. Concerned over his long absence, his son Vishnu and others searched for him and recovered his partially eaten body from the sugarcane field. They claimed to have sighted the tiger which fled into the neighbouring forests after they raised an alarm. Dudhwa buffer zone's deputy director Kirti Chaudhary confirmed the incident, noting that pugmarks would help identify whether it was a tiger or a leopard that killed the man. Chaudhary said compensation to the aggrieved family would be provided as per norms. She added that patrolling in both the areas in Pallia and Sampurnanagar ranges had been intensified. --Deo Kant Pandey...
