Officials said the behaviour shown in the video goes against the rules followed at zoos, where visitors are expected to maintain a safe distance from animals and avoid disturbing them. The inquiry will examine whether security protocols were violated and if action is required against the people seen in the video.
The incident has also sparked criticism on social media, with many users raising concerns over public behaviour around wild animals and calling for stricter enforcement of zoo regulations. Wildlife experts have often warned that teasing captive animals can cause unnecessary stress and affect their well-being.
Zoo authorities are expected to review CCTV footage and other available evidence as part of the investigation. Further action will depend on the findings of the inquiry.
