A tribal youngster was attacked and killed by a tiger, when he went to the forest areas to graze cattle on the outskirts of Digida village in Dahegaon mandal on Wednesday. The badly mauled body of Sidam Vignesh (21) was found later by fellow villagers.

According to reports reaching the district headquarters, three tribal youth, Vignesh and his two friends Bolishetti Naveen and Sidam Srikanth went to the forest areas to graze cattle. “The tiger appeared suddenly, lunged at Vignesh and dragged him away” the terrified duo recalled.

The duo who almost froze with fear on seeing the tiger, but managed to scamper towards the village. They alerted the villagers, who gathered in large numbers. Later the villagers and the duo dared to venture into the forest area where Vignesh was attacked. After some search, the villagers found the body of Vignesh.
