A group of angry villagers in northern India reportedly killed a tiger by running over the animal with a tractor and beating it to death after it killed a man, officials on Monday said.
Reports state that the female tiger attacked a 50-year-old man near the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve in the state of Uttar Pradesh over the weekend. The man reportedly succumbed to his injuries.
Shortly after the attack on the human, a group of villagers barged into the reserve, attacking the forest guards present in the area. They then stole the tractors belonging to the guards and ran over a ten-year-old tigress before beating the animal to death with sticks, according to the Daily Mail.
The incident comes just two days after another female tiger was brutally killed in the country in a secret night operation. Reports state that people decided to kill the female tiger, Avni, after they suspected she killed at least 13 people.
