A 45-year-old man was killed by a leopard in Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur district in Chhattisgarh, an officer said on Monday.
The incident took place in Kunwari village in the Janakpur forest range when Randaman Baiga (45) was returning from his farmland on Sunday, Manendragarh Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Loknath Patel said.
An interim relief of Rs 25,000 was given to his kin.
A 54-year-old and an 80-year-old women were killed in leopard attacks this and last month respectively.
Preliminary investigation suggests that the same leopard attacked all the victims. A team of experts has been formed to capture the animal.
