Man Eater Tiger Slain By Dak Runner’s Courage
A historic account describes a notorious Kattyawar man eater that killed many villagers and dak runners. After months of failed efforts by guides and police, a cousin in the staff corps, posing as a dak-runner, tracked the tiger to a narrow jungle defile and killed it with a single twelve bore shot. The tale underscores villagers’ beliefs and the tiger’s fearsome reputation.
