India, Oct. 27 -- Mysuru, Oct. 27 - A 54-year-old man, who was grazing his cattle was killed when a tiger attacked him at Bennegere village, near Mulluru in Saragur taluk yesterday morning.

The deceased has been identified as Rajashekar, a resident of Bennegere village and fear-gripped villagers have demanded the officials concerned to control the menace by wild animals.

There is a wild growth of bushes on hundreds of acres of land from Odeyanapura and Kudurehundi Halla near Bennegere village, close to Mulluru village, bordering Bandipur Tiger Reserve till Nugu River, making it a perfect shelter for wild animals. These wild animals frequently raid the villages in forest borders, killing and carrying away domesticated animals.
