*Monday December 24, 05:24 PM*

*Patna:* A man voluntarily jumped into a tiger's cage and was attacked by

the animal at the Patna Zoo on Sunday. Miraculously he survived to tell his

tale. He's reportedly mentally unstable.

 

The man was badly injured and is being treated at a government hospital in

Patna. He's around 30 and mentally unwell. The zoo security guards had to

use water cannon to shoo away the tiger, before dragging the man out.

 

There were a lot of people and there aren't enough barricades. There is also

a wall, a water body canal, so that the animal does not cross. It's a brick

wall that is chest high, and then you have a 5-10 feet canal which is public

demarcated by the water body.

 

The man is seriously injured and has been admitted in a government hospital

in Patna, but no family members have come to ask for him yet.

*Man jumps into tiger's enclosure for a third time, survives*

 

Patna (PTI): A man who jumped into an enclosure for the big cats at the

Patna zoo, surprisingly made it back from the jaws of death for a third time

with some injuries but was booked for attempted suicide.

 

Sudhir Yadav, 25, clambered up the iron-mesh, crossed the dry moat and

walked up to the white tigeress " Shwetwari " on Sunday, as benumbed visitors

at the Sanjay Gandhi Biological Park looked on.

 

Angry at the intrusion in its " den " , the tigress held Sudhir by his neck and

began dragging him, it is when the crowd raised an alarm. The animal keepers

rescued Sudhir after firing water jets at the tigress, Park Director Rakesh

Kumar told PTI today.

 

Police was called and Sudhir was rushed with deep gashes on his neck and

back to Gardanibagh government hospital from where he was referred to Patna

Medical College and Hospital, the Director said.

 

Sudhir had entered the cage of a lion on December 31 last year and though

mauled, escaped death by a whisker and had to spend several days at PMCH. In

March this year, he had jumped into a tiger's enclosure but was rescued for

a second time.

 

He had recently set ablaze a police jeep at Fatuha police station, about 25

km from here.

 

Deputy Superintendent of Police (Secretariat) Sridhar Mandal, said Sudhir

was booked under Section 309 (attempt to commit suicide), but was released

on bail on Monday evening after being discharged from PMCH.
