Man-eaters of Sunderbans

In a bizarre incident on the southern tip of the Indian Sunderbans, a royal bengal tiger dragged a fisherman from his boat on Friday morning. His friends came to his rescue and literally beat the beast away! However, due to low tide the fisherman identified as Purna Das could be evacuated to Kolkata in the evening where he has undergone an operation and is battling for his life.
