On September 24,The horrific story of Delhi zoo where a white tiger mauled a man(Maqsood) who reportedly jumped into the enclosure has another angle to it now. Since the incident took place, people have been guessing about the intention of the white tiger when it was staring at the man for about 15 minutes (as seen in the video). Some people claimed that the tiger attacked the man because of the onlookers who pelted stones at it. But after much speculation as to what happened, the guard of the zoo has now come up with some unknown truth about the incident.
After the incident, the Delhi police have been investigating the case. The police asked the zoo officials as to why they did not utilise the tranquilizer gun to save the man, as the big cat did not attack immediately.
The guard who was present at the time revealed the reason why the zoo officials could not tranquilize the tiger. The guard named Praveen told the police that the tranquilizer injection and gun were kept in the office of the doctor appointed to give first aid in the zoo. Unfortunately, the doctor wasn’t present on the day and that is why the zoo officials did not use the gun to save the man.
A senior Central Zoo Authority (CZA) official said there were discussions on how the animal could have been kept at bay by spraying water. Maqsood could have also been pulled out with a collapsible ladder. "I have seen zoos in Singapore and the US. Brookfield Zoo in Chicago and the Bronx Zoo in New York have alarm systems and ladders that can immediately help the person out," said an expert from CZA on condition of anonymity.
