Indian teams hunt for tiger after Bandipur deaths Forest officials in the southern Indian state of Karnataka are searching for a tiger which they say has killed three villagers in the past week. Teams have gone deep into Bandipur tiger reserve with orders to shoot the man-eater with tranquilisers. A fourth fatality in recent days is being blamed on another tiger. Meanwhile, angry locals demanding compensation for the families of those killed have set fire to two jeeps belonging to forest officials. The villagers also want a permanent solution to the man-animal conflict in the region. The first fatal attack took place on 27 November, when a man called Basavaraju was killed. Two days later, a second victim, Cheluva, fell prey to the same tiger, officials believe. They say the animal was last spotted on 30 November. bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-25211242
