Terkini : Drama bergambar serangan harimau bintang di India

A wild leopard which mauled six people after wandering into a village in deepest India has died from injuries sustained during the attack.

The fully grown beast savaged several policemen and forest rangers, as well as villagers, during its rampage in a densely populated district near Siliguri in West Bengal yesterday.

The leopard was eventually tranquilised, tied up and taken to a veterinary clinic, where it later died.

A forestry department official said the animal had suffered multiple 'external injuries' as the police had used batons and knives to save their colleagues.

Harimau Bintang mengamuk di kampung

KAMPUNG PRAKASH NAGAR, India – Seekor harimau bintang seberat 90 kilogram melompat ke arah belakang seorang pegawai jabatan perhutanan di sini kelmarin.

Sebelum ini harimau itu sudah mencederakan lima orang selepas haiwan tersebut tersesat memasuki sebuah kampung dari taman negara berdekatan.

Pegawai itu cedera namun seorang pegawai perhutanan berjaya menembak ubat pelali ke atas haiwan itu menyebabkan ia lemah sekali gus dapat ditangkap dengan mudah oleh tiga anggota polis yang bersenjatakan pistol dan baton.

Sejumlah penduduk kampung menyaksikan detik-detik cemas itu.
Harimau itu dibawa ke sebuah pusat haiwan di Sukna tetapi ia mati akibat kecederaan.

Sebelum pegawai hutan itu dicederakan, haiwan berkenaan mencederakan lima orang lagi semasa penduduk kampung cuba mengejar untuk menangkapnya.
