A 42-year-old man was mauled to death by a tiger at a forest in Maharashtra's Chandrapur district on Wednesday, a forest official said. The incident took place around 8 am when the man went to collect tendu leaves in the Vandra beat of Brahmapuri forest range, he said.

The Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve is located in Chandrapur district. There have been several incidents of human-animal conflict in the region in the recent past. On May 23, a 68-year-old man was killed in a tiger attack at the Marodi beat of Mul forest range in Chandrapur.
