A decade has passed since the shocking and tragic incident at Delhi Zoo, where a 20-year-old man, known as Masqood, was violently attacked and killed by a massive white tiger.

This horrifying event unfolded when Masqood, in a fateful decision, chose to cross the safety barrier that was designed to protect zoo visitors from the animals, ultimately leading to him losing his balance and falling into the tiger’s enclosure.

Despite being cautioned by the Delhi Zoo guards about the potential risks, Masqood’s curiosity to see the grand jungle cat up close drove him to a perilous situation.
In a tragic misstep, he tripped and fell into the enclosure of the white tiger, landing in the dry moat below.

The man attempted to shield himself from the tiger.
The distressing incident was captured on video, which shows Masqood pressed against the wall of the cage, facing the predatory cat, Vijay, who was looming just inches away from his face.
In a desperate plea for mercy, Masqood was seen frantically waving his hands in front of his face, attempting to persuade the 200kg tiger to spare his life.

After a tense standoff lasting several minutes, the tiger, becoming increasingly agitated, attacked Masqood.
Vijay pounced on him, seizing his neck in its formidable jaws and dragging him to the back of the enclosure.
