A
keeper has been mauled to death by tigers inside a park after just one
week of resumption, a development which has since caused some chaos in
the area.
A 40-year-old keeper, Anjaneya, has been mauled to death by two
white tiger cubs barely a week after his resumption at the Bannerghatta
Biological Park in India.
According to Times of India, the Tigers were said to have attacked
him when he went into the Cubs’ enclosure to clean up the place without
noticing that the other side where the animals were resting was open.
A Source at the park said, “It’s a practice to feed tigers
after the safaris are over around 5 pm. The victim entered the cage to
clean bones, not realizing the Tigers were there. Soorya, a tiger
adopted by MLA Ashok Kheny, and its cubs Vanya and Jhansi Rani were
resting inside.
“One cub saw the stranger in the cage and jumped on him and bit
his neck. The other cub joined the attack. When he started screaming,
the Tigers got enraged and took him into the safari area. He succumbed
to the injuries.”
The Tigers were eventually driven off by park staff but the victim
was already dead and some part of his body had been eaten by the
animals.
