A tiger entered a village near Madhya Pradesh's Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, attacking a man named Gopal Kol and causing serious leg injuries. The tiger then entered a nearby house and sat on a cot, prompting villagers to flee to rooftops. After an eight-hour operation, forest officials tranquilized and rescued the animal, which had been spotted earlier in buffer zone fields. Officials noted tigers are frequently seen in these buffer areas.
