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.
