Gazipur: A youth lost his hand as a tiger of Bangabandhu Safari Park attacked him on Wednesday afternoon.

The victim is identified as Ankan, 26.

Range officials of the park Shibu Prashad Bhattacharya and Krishnakamal Mazumder told  Ankan, 26, had put his left arm into the nets after riding on the wall.

He tried to attract a tiger resting far away by waving his hand. Another tiger that was beside the wall grabbed his arm.

Seeing this, other visitors of the park tried to pull out Ankon. At one stage, the tiger bit his arm off.
