A white lion attacked Kannu Piradiita, who is the keeper of lions, tigers and chimpanzees at Karachi zoo. On Monday afternoon a white lion attacked him from inside the cage.

According to details, Piraditta was keeping the meat for the lion and lioness, when the lion caught his hand and attacked him.

A video of the attack shows the man screaming for his life as the lion grips his hand. The other employees of the zoo kept stand and watched the show but no one intervened to help him. Eventually, Piraditta was able to free himself from the lion’s grip.

However, the zoo director has held the keeper responsible for the incident.

Piraditta is currently being treated at a hospital.
