The serene morning of Tuesday in Mardu village, located in Silli Block of Ranchi district, Jharkhand, turned chaotic when a tiger trespassed into the home of Purandar Mahto, a local villager. Upon hearing some rustling noise around 4:30 AM, he cautiously switched on his torchlight to find the presence of a tiger.
