Tiger Kills Man In Delhi Zoo

The government has put the onus on the 22-year-old youth who was mauled by a white tiger in Delhi Zoo last year, saying he had defied warnings and landed in the enclosure due to his "misadventure".

Vijay, the white tiger that mauled and killed a 20-year old man on Tuesday and grabbed headlines the world over, has shown no unusual behaviour, a Delhi zoo official said on Wednesday, insisting that Vijay was not a man-eater as he was born and bred in captivity and knew no hunting techniques.

A white tiger killed a 20-year-old man who apparently fell into its enclosure at the Delhi zoo on Tuesday. Around 1 pm, the man, Maqsood, fell 18 feet into a dry moat in the tiger enclosure, eyewitnesses said. Moments later, the full-grown tiger could be seen dragging him off by the neck.

Six years ago, an inebriated man had fallen into the enclosure of a lioness at the Delhi zoo, but luckily for him, the lioness spared his life, zoo officials in the national capital said today, after a white tiger mauled a man to death.
