The incident took place when Shashanka Mondal and two other fishermen from village went to catch crabs in a canal near Sajnekhali range office, he said.
As soon as Mondal got down the boat, a tiger attacked him, killing him on the spot, the officer said.
The fishermen did not possess valid documents required for catching crabs or fish in the protected area, he said.
A total of 19 fishermen have been killed in tiger attacks in Sundarbans since the COVID-19 outbreak, the officer added.

"Tigers can be effective enforcers; Tigers never miss,"

After a little while the conglomeration is covered in crabs and you just haul 'em out and put 'em in a bucket.
That's what I did when I was a kid, anyway.
Charming.
if ever attacked by a large cat...dont panic...back up slowly, while pushing your friend out in front of you
The most dangerous thing where I'm from is fellow crabbers.
For a fact if you messed with someone's crab pots it could mean death.
And those crabs, that sweet sweet meat, they feed on death, scavengers all.
