The incident occurred in the Bandipur forest, situated along the Karnataka-Kerala border, and was captured on camera. The footage has prompted warnings from officials who criticised the behaviour of the tourists as irresponsible. The video was shared on X on Friday by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan who urged people to stay inside their vehicles when near wild animals. This person was just lucky.
