Tiger mauled to death a young man in a New Delhi zoo (India)

Television channels broadcast closed-circuit footage of the frightened man, aged 20, inside the tiger's enclosure in the zoo that houses six white tigers, along with lions and panthers.

According to TV reports and some eye witnesses present on the spot claim the barricade at the zoo was too low. The boy accidentally fell into the tiger's enclosure as he attempted to get a closer look at the carnivore.

Amitabh Agnihotri, the director of the National Zoological Park in the Indian capital said "The tiger grabbed the youth and killed him. I am not clear whether the youth jumped into the cage or he slipped accidentally."
