The incident took place near the Narasimha Swamy temple at around 7.30 pm yesterday. The remains of the child were found during a search conducted by the police after they reported the child missing. The remains of the dead body were found this morning. The remains of the child were unrecognizable. The child has several injuries on his head.
The murdered Lakshita is the daughter of Dinesh-Sasikala couple. They visited the temple with three children. When she reached near the Narasimha Swamy temple, Lakshita disappeared. They immediately filed a complaint with the police and started a search. Even though their daughter was missing, they did not think that the tiger would catch her.
Last month too, a tiger attacked a child in Tirupati. Four-year-old Kaushik, a native of Kurnool, was attacked by a tiger that day. This attack was at night. A child who was in the group who stopped by the road to eat was bitten by a tiger and dragged into the forest. The tiger ran away after the security personnel and relatives made a commotion by hitting the torch. The child escaped with injuries that day.
