This unfortunate event brings to mind a similar incident in 2019, where a zookeeper in Karachi was severely injured by a white lion. The victim, Peer Datta, suffered serious injuries during a feeding session when the lion unexpectedly attacked him.
Such incidents underscore the need for enhanced safety measures within zoological facilities to prevent tragic encounters between humans and captive animals. The authorities are actively looking into the circumstances surrounding this recent incident to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the events leading to the unfortunate fatality.
