Answer 1

Answer:

She is Alive

After the death of Jagan Lal, the villagers were living in constant fear of the man-eating tiger. During the day, they would move in groups, and by dusk, they would leave all their work and go to their huts where they locked all their doors and shut their windows. Nobody after 7pm went out of their homes, neither did they open their doors for anybody.

One night, a woman's scream woke up all the villagers from their sleep. The tiger was hungry, and had come for his supper. No one dared to open their doors and help the poor woman. They opened their windows in curiosity, and peeped through the open space, and saw the woman being dragged by the tiger. But no one helped her. They were thankful that they weren't the victims of such a heinous experience. As the woman and tiger were seen no more, all the villagers gave a sigh of relief, went back to their beds, and went off to sleep. Now the tiger has someone to feast on, and it wouldn't come and attack them for a few days.

Days passed, and search parties were organised, but the women wasn't found. One night, the chief of the viiage heard a thud on his door. His wife shook her head, warning him of the dangers that might fall on him, but the mayor went and opened the door.

He was amazed at the sight he saw. The woman was now siting on the same tiger, with a spear in a hand. She looked infuriated.

"Oh, you're alive!" the chief said in awe.

"You and the villagers didn't care to help when I was being dragged away. You all saw me shrieking and yelling, but no one came to help me. You all will pay," and with that, the tiger pounced on the chief and slit his neck. The same fate followed for all the villagers, but a few managed to escape.

To this very day, you can still hear the shrieks of the chief and his villagers in the night.
