A suicidal man entered the lion’s den at Delhi zoo on Thursday, and lived to tell the tale. In what could have been a grim repeat of the 2014 tragedy, when a tiger mauled a man who had entered its enclosure at the zoo, quick intervention by the zoo staff ensured that the startled Asiatic lion was tranquilised before it could do any harm and the intruder handed over to the police.
