A man-eating tiger has become an unlikely electoral issue in the poll-bound Uttar Pradesh's Pilibhit district. The two-year-old tigress has killed five people and injured an old woman sleeping in the veranda (porch) of her home in the Indo-Nepal Terai region since November. Her latest victim, 52-year-old Nanhe Lal's body was found half-eaten in the wheat fields of Piparia Karam village. Following this, she was declared a man-eater. Residents say they are poorly guarded as all licensed firearms have been deposited with the police ahead of this month's polls. Local bodies have threatened to stay away from voting on February 15 unless the big cat is caught. It has become a harrowing ordeal for me to campaign in the area.
