Tigress, cubs kill two more in UP; 4 deaths in a week

BAREILLY: After 19 human kills and a brief lull, a tigress and her sub-adult cubs have struck again, twice, in the past 24 hours. Their latest victims were two farmers, both in their 40s, reports Kanwardeep Singh.
Monday's killings have spread terror among residents living around the Singahi range, which falls within the buffer range of Dudhwa Tiger Reserve.Since 2020, 21 human deaths have been reported from the region so far, with four cases in the past week alone, officials said.
A forest official said there is a possibility that two sub-adult cubs of the tigress may be also responsible for the attacks on humans. Dudhwa field director Sanjay Pathak said, "This particular tigress and her sub-adult cubs are outsmarting humans, for now."
