A young woman was killed in the attack while another farmer suffered injuries in the attack that took place on two different instances when the victims were working in farms.
The tiger strayed into Telangana from adjoining Maharashtra a fortnight ago, and since has created panic in the Kumaram Bheem-Asifabad district. The wild cat initially attacked cattle at three places. Three days ago it attacked and killed a woman who was plucking cotton in a field. On Friday it attacked a farmer who was in his farm leaving him injured.
