Vadodara: A 30-year-old man was killed by a crocodile in Dabhoi taluka on Thursday morning. The attack came at 8am when Amit Vasava was grazing his cattle near the Orsang river in Rajpura village . Vasava went close to the river’s edge bank and spotted the crocodile.
“He panicked and slipped on some mud and fell into the river. The crocodile, which was about 12 feet long, lunged at him, grabbed his legs and dragged him away into deeper water,” said Alkesh Maachi (Murli), a wildlife activist in Dabhoi. Murli and his team of volunteers from Nature Help Foundation and the forest department started a search for Vasava’s body, which was found hours later in bushes on the riverbank.
Last month, a crocodile had attacked another man barely metres from the same spot, Murli said. People have been warned not to go close to the river due to floods.
