Indore. A sensational incident in Indore's Zoo came to the fore. A young man jumped into a lion's cage and stayed there for half an hour. The whole incident was captured by CCTV cameras placed outside the zoo canteen.

During this time he also climbed to the loft. He was throwing stones from the scaffold and yelled at Lions. This is the same loft on which lions often take rest. When people saw him, they thought him to be a zoo employee. But he remained in the enclosure for a long time. During this time he also fired crackers.
