Crocodile kills woman in Bihar

A woman was killed by a crocodile while she was cutting grass near a river in Bihar's Bagha district, police said Saturday.

Eighteen-year-old Reena Kumar was cutting grass near Gandak river Friday along with her siblings when a crocodile attacked and mauled her to death and then disappeared with the body.

A district police officer said her body is yet to be recovered.

This incident has sent shock waves across the village. "It has created panic among the villagers," a police official said.

It is not the first such incident in the district, which also houses the Valmiki Tiger Reserve.

 

Last month a crocodile was killed by villagers in Madhepura district.
