Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 ?Rhino kills man in Lucknow zoo Lucknow, October 14 Vinod (32) who had entered the enclosure of a rhino to collect a kite was mauled to death by the animal. This is the second such case in more than a decade. The authorities at Lucknow zoological park were informed last night that a man from the neighbouring Narhi area had entered the zoo to pick up a kite which landed inside. When Vinod did not return, the zoo authorities and local people mounted a search. While last night they were unable to trace the man, this morning the zoo-keepers found Vinod's wounded body inside the rhino's enclousure. prima facie, he was killed by the beast,said a zoo official. Incidentally, the same rhino had killed a zoo vet in 1996. Meanwhile, state forest and wildlife minister Kunwar Fateh Bahadur Singh has ordered a probe into the security lapses at the zoological garden.
