Chandrapur: A 58-year-old farmer was killed in a tiger attack near his farmland in Minthur village of Nagbhid taluka. His mutilated remains were found on Sunday morning after an overnight search. Victim, Haridas Kubde, had left home on Saturday morning to collect mahua flowers near his field, located close to Mindala forest under Nagbhid range. When he failed to return, villagers launched a search, but efforts were delayed due to darkness and presence of wild animals. A joint search by the forest department and locals early Sunday, lead to the discovery of Kubde’s partially eaten remains near a stream adjoining his farmland. Prelim findings indicate a tiger attacked and killed.
