New Delhi: The family of the 20-year-old youth who was mauled to death by a white tiger at the Delhi zoo, yesterday demanded strict action against the security guards who “did not act” when the victim fell into the enclosure.
“My son was not at fault. It should be investigated whether he jumped or was pushed into the enclosure. But the security guards posted at that time should have acted,” Mehfooj, father of Maksood who was killed by the tiger on Tuesday, said.
“The tiger was standing in front of him (Maksood) for more than 10 minutes. It was a long period of time in which the zoo staff could have saved my son,” he said.
Police should investigate the case and put such people behind bars, he added.
Mehfooj is a labourer and lives in Delhi’s Anand Parbat area with his family.
