Chitwan : A domestic buffalo reared by a farmer in Manahari, Makawanpur, has killed a tiger.

A buffalo owned by Bal Bahadur Rai of Manahari rural municipality-6, Pratappur killed the tiger that came out of Chitwan National Park (CNP). 

CNP’s Information Officer Ganesh Prasad Tiwari said that the tiger died in retaliation to the buffalo this morning.

The buffalo was injured in the tiger attack. This is the first such incident in the park and its buffer zone. “The dead tiger looks old and thin. The jungle cat might have gone out in search of food for

not being able to hunt inside the park”, he said. Information Officer Tiwari informed that the body has been brought to the National Park for post-mortem.
