Bijnor, Oct 13 (ANI): A ten-year-old boy was killed by a man-eater tigress in Uttar Pradesh, said a forest official. The big cat attacked him when the boy was playing near his house in Bijnor district. After hearing the screams, parents of the boy attacked the animal with sticks after which it fled in the forest area. However, the boy died due to severe bleeding. Depletion of their habitat has also threatened the wild animals, forcing them to stray into human settlements - attacking people, poultry birds and livestock cattle - and often getting killed in return.
