Overview
- A tiger attacked and killed a 45-year-old woman in Mau Chandiya Pahadi under the Bahrai range after she was working in a field.
- About three hours later a second tiger attack in the Jamrapani circle of the Gorakhpur beat killed 55-year-old Shanti Bai Kumre and villagers found her mutilated body near farmland.
- The two sites were reported roughly 60 km apart, with one about 40 km and the other about 70 km from Seoni district headquarters.
- Large, agitated village gatherings at both locations delayed post-mortem examinations and complicated immediate investigative work.
- Senior forest officials along with police and revenue teams have been deployed to collect information, calm residents and monitor tiger movement in the Pench‑Kanha corridor, raising concern for farmers who work near forest edges.
