The incident comes a day after a crab-catcher was killed in a tiger attack in Marichjhapi Island in the forested region.

Six men from Parghumti village in Hingalganj police station area in North 24 Parganas district were catching fishes in a canal in Bagna forest range when suddenly a tiger leaped on one of them, identified as 40-year-old Munna Gazi, and dragged him into the forest, the officer said.

The five other fishermen succeeded in chasing away the tiger but Gazi had died by then, he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
