A 50-year-old rubber tapper was mauled to death by a tiger while working at a plantation at Adakkakundu, near Kalikavu, in the eastern part of Malappuram district of Kerala on Thursday (May 15, 2025) morning. The deceased has been identified as Abdul Gafoor.
His co-workers fled for safety as the tiger pounced on Gafoor soon after they started work at dawn.
They said the tiger dragged Gafoor into the forests.
His body was later recovered from inside the forests after a joint search by the police and forest officers.
