Monkey Escapes Enclosure, Injures Caretaker and Visitor at Delhi Zoo
A monkey escaped its enclosure at Delhi Zoo, attacking caretaker Alok Kumar and a visitor on Monday morning. The caretaker suffered a severed finger and deep leg bites, while the visitor was bitten on the thigh. The monkey reportedly escaped due to a faulty locking mechanism, with allegations of lax enclosure security and absence of a range officer during the incident. Zoo officials confirmed an inquiry and said corrective measures will be implemented. The injured caretaker has been discharged and is recovering.
