Panna tiger siblings kill woman: Are they truly 'man-eaters'? Know the facts

India Today  

A 65-year-old woman was mauled to death by a sub-adult tiger in Panna Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh on Monday. The attack took place at around 10 in the morning, when Phuliya Sahu along with three other women ventured into the core area of the tiger reserve to collect fodder. We spoke to Anjana Tirkey, Field Director of Panna Tiger Reserve, who confirmed the incident and that the three sub-adults are cubs of the popular tigress, coded 652. This is probably the first ever tiger-human conflict in the history of Panna Tiger Reserve, which is known for its successful tiger re-introduction programme. However, the authorities could consider relocating them to some other range of the reserve to minimise their human interaction, at least for some time.” Dr Abhishek Ghoshal said, “The tiger individuals suspected to be involved in the incident are sub-adults who have recently separated from their mother and are therefore inexperienced.
