Tiger attack

I was on protection duty with the Forest Department at Bhanuskhindi protection hut. One night at 4 am we heard the sound of a spotted deer. I felt that spotted deer was killed by the tiger. Near the protection hut was a drain and I went there to brush my teeth. In the morning I heard alarm calls of a jungle fowl. I was looking for the jungle fowl but there was a tiger on the opposite side. I didn’t know that the tiger was walking towards me slowly. When I saw the tiger I was shocked. I started shouting ‘tiger, tiger’ and the tiger ran away. Two guys heard me shouting and came running to me. We looked and found pugmarks of the tiger and followed them until we reached the tiger kill at 8 feet distance and saw the tiger sitting there.
