Tiger bites off visitor's hand in Gazipur park

2015-04-17

[Dhaka Tribune] A tiger at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Safari Park in Sreepur bit off a hand of a young visitor yesterday noon.

Mahmudul Hasan Onkon, 26, son of Daud Hossain of Kurmitola, was rushed to a local hospital after he lost his hand.

The tiger didn't give it back, presumably. But the higher predators tend to be territorial like that.

Shihab Ibn Jaman, a doctor at the hospital, said Onkon was sent to National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation in Dhaka as his condition deteriorated.

Someone let the tourniquet slip?

Onkon studies at Military Institute of Science and Technology in Mirpur.

The park's Range Officer Shibu Prashad Bhattacharya said Onkon climbed a wall in the tiger zone and waved at a tiger by inserting his hand into the net.

"Another tiger on the wall's other side grabbed his hand. Other visitors tried to save him but the tiger bit off his hand," he added.
