A tiger has killed a railway employee and mauled two others in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

The incident took place at a railway station near the Katarniyaghat forest reserve.

The animal attacked and killed the employee about one kilometre from the railway station when the man was returning home after work.

The big cat also injured two people, who tried to rescue the employee from its claws.

Nearly three weeks ago, a tiger injured three farmers and killed two oxen in the same district.

In August, a leopard also attacked four people, killing one of them.
