Hunsur: A tragic incident unfolded as a 55-year-old farmer named Ganesh fell victim to a tiger attack near Udavepura village on Monday. This unfortunate event occurred while Ganesh was attending to his cattle. Tragically, he succumbed to the tiger’s attack on the spot, and the tiger left behind a portion of the farmer’s lifeless body. Local residents are urgently calling for the capture of the tiger.

Ganesh had taken his cattle to graze in the forest area, which is adjacent to Uduvepur. While the cattle returned home in the evening, Ganesh did not. Concerned, his family promptly notified the forest department. Subsequently, officials arrived at the scene, conducted a forest search, and discovered Ganesh’s lifeless body near a lake within the buffer area of the Muddanahalli forest.

On September 21, another tiger attack occurred in the same forest region, targeting Ramesh from Muddanahalli. Ramesh sustained severe injuries during the encounter and was subsequently admitted to a hospital in Mysore for medical treatment. The police have registered a case and are currently conducting an investigation into the matter.
