Mentally-unstable man jumps inside lion enclosure, rescued

  • | Friday | 18th October, 2019

New Delhi, October 17A 25-year-old mentally-unstable man leapt into the enclosure of a lion at the Delhi zoo on Thursday, came face to face with the big cat and moved around unconcerned about the lurking danger, before the zoo staff rescued him after tranquillising the animal. The incident brought back the dreadful memories of a 2014 episode when a white tiger mauled a man to death after he had jumped inside its enclosure in the Delhi zoo. Thursday noon, Rehan Khan, who hails from Bihar’s East Champaran district and currently resides in Delhi’s Seelampur area, jumped around 20 feet down into the moat, walked up to the lion and casually sat in front of it.
