In a unfortunate incident in Pilibhit, a villager was severely injured by a tiger while taking a restroom break near a forested area. Panic spread quickly among the locals as the tiger fled into nearby bushes after the attack. A video that surfaced on September 24 shows the chaos that ensued, with people frantically trying to escape, some even falling onto the road in their rush.
In an attempt to contain the situation, a crowd of villagers gathered, encircling the tiger, which had taken refuge in the dense foliage near a dam. Despite the seriousness of the incident and multiple reports to the authorities, forest department officials reportedly failed to arrive at the scene, causing growing concerns among the locals. The injured villager was left in critical condition, and fears remain high as the tiger continues to remain at large, hiding in the surrounding wilderness.
