PANNA: A 55-year-old man was mauled to death by a wild bear in the Panna Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh, a senior official said on Wednesday.
The incident took place on Tuesday evening in the forest near Bagoha village, said the reserve’s field director Uttam Kumar Sharma.
The deceased, resident of the same village, had ventured into the forest in search of his buffalo.
While his family suspected that a tiger could have killed him, Sharma said a bear was found to be roaming in the area when the incident took place and inspection of the spot also indicated attack by a bear.
