A 32-year-old anti-poaching watcher suffered injuries after he was attacked
by a tiger when he went to relieve himself near a tribal village in
Theppakadu on Wednesday.
The injured has been identified as K. Bomman.
Despite being pounced on by the animal, it has been said that Bomman
managed to fight off the animal before it could seriously injure him. He
sustained injuries to his hands and his body, and was rushed to the
Government Hospital in Gudalur.
This year, four anti-poaching watchers have been injured in attacks by wild
animals in Mudumalai Tiger Reserve. Recently, a forest guard involved in an
operation to capture an elephant PM2, broke his leg during attempts to
track the animal.
