Tiger Attack Kills Woman in Madhya Pradesh; Tigress Rescued and RelocatedPreviousNext

A 45-year-old woman named Sugni Bai was killed in Madhya Pradesh's Balaghat district after a tiger attacked her while she slept in a doorless hut, dragging her about 300 metres. She died from severe head injuries at a local hospital. Forest officials identified and rescued the tigress responsible, noting its worn canine teeth likely led to the attack. The tigress was relocated to Van Vihar National Park. Authorities plan increased patrolling, cage installation, and urged villagers to take safety precautions. Compensation to the victim's family is also planned.
