Two days after a man died of tiger attack, another person was today dragged away by the Big Cat at Gosaba in Sunderbans in South 24 Parganas district.
A district police officer said Anathbandhu Kayal, 50,was taken away by a tiger while catching crab at Sreehari creek this afternoon and could not be traced ever since. Kayal's wife and brother-in-law, accompanying him, raised an alarm but the tiger vanished in the nearby dense mangrove forest grabbing the man by neck.
The incident followed the death of Arjun Sardar from injuries due to tiger attack, in Gosaba on Saturday last, the officer said. Meanwhile, Sardar's two relatives were today arrested by the police for allegedly not taking him for cremation after the man expired while being taken to hospital, the officer said.
