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.

Tiger mauls railway employee
See,lack of food,encroachment into their natural habitats all due to human population explosion,causes the wild animals to resort to this. The poor animals will be hunted down and killed. It’s time humans stop over populating the earth,leave some space for other species.
