Gruesome!White Tiger Kills Man Who Fell Into Its Enclosure At Delhi Zoo Photos+Video:
A white tiger has killed a male student who
witnesses say climbed over a fence at the New Delhi zoo in India and into the
animal's enclosure.
National Zoological Park spokesman Riyaz
Ahmed Khan said the man ignored repeated warnings that he should not get too
close to the outdoor enclosure and climbed over a knee-high fence and small
hedges.
Other eyewitnesses said the man was leaning
over the barricade and may have fallen inside the closure byaccident,
according to IBN News Live.
He then jumped down into a protective moat,
said Mr Khan. The tiger, which lives on a grassy tree-filled island, grabbed
the man from the moat. Footage broadcast on NDTV showed the tiger carrying the
man around the island.
Authorities eventually frightened the tiger
into a small cage inside the enclosure. Police arrived on the scene "very
quickly", but could not save his life.
The man, whose body remained in the outdoor
enclosure two hours after the attack, was dead by the time help reached him, Mr
Khan said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police M.S. Randhawa
identified the man only as Maqsood and said he was thought to be about 20 years
old.
