A man eating tiger was shot by Nawab Shafath Ali Khan using a .458 mag on 24th Feb, 09... Attached are a few photos..

The tiger had terrorised the area for 4 months after killing 5 people & injured several other in the Faizabad district, UP.

I love this photo in which the Superintendent of Police (SP)& the District Magistrate (senior most goverment official in the district) are standing casually, would be quite a sight had the man eater appeared. I am told the photo was taken as they were attemting to drive out the man eater during a 'beat'.
