Pug marks, viral video spark tiger fear in Gomia
1 2 Bokaro: Panic gripped Tulbul village, a hamlet surrounded by a dense forest at the foothills of Luggu hills, under Gomia block on Saturday after a farmer claimed to have spotted a tiger roaming in his field. The farmer, identified as Manoj Prajapati, recorded a video of the animal on his mobile phone, which soon went viral on social media. Forest officials said though the pug marks did not resemble that of a tiger at first sight, they have urged residents to remain watchful. "The team which visited the spot found pug marks of an animal, but they were smaller in size and did not appear to be of a tiger or a leopard. The animal could possibly be a hyena or some other wild animal, but not a member of the big cat family. The location shown in the video has been verified. However, the animal is not clearly visible in the video, making identification difficult. An alert was issued in the surrounding areas," local forest official Sudip Shinde said. Prajapati however claimed he was working his field when he saw the animal. It was tiger. We work late in our fields. Security is necessary for our safety," he said. Prajapati hid behind a tree and then climbed it to record the video, he said. Locals said the spot, where the animal was sighted, is close to residential school, several hotels and a govt building and demanded heightened patrolling and stronger security arrangements. Teachers and parents were advised to remain alert and ensure children's safety. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !
