A few months back, a tiger was spotted roaming in the field of Uttar Pradesh's Pilibhit while a farmer was ploughing his land.
In the video shared on X, the wild cat was seen prowling in the paddy field as a farmer was ploughing his land on a tractor. On having a careful look at the 52 second clip, two more people were seen standing at a distance and looking at the tiger. It did not cause any harm to the farmer or the people standing there and slowly walked away.
The sighting expectedly took place near Pilibhit Tiger Reserve, which houses close to 65 tigers.
