Gujarat: “It attacked me from behind, knocked me to the ground and held my hand in its jaws for nearly half an hour,” recalled Kalubhai Boghabhai Parmar, the cattle herder who survived a terrifying lion attack in Gujarat’s Bhavnagar district. Speaking from his hospital bed, Parmar recounted the horrifying ordeal after a video of the incident, showing villagers desperately trying to rescue him from the lion, went viral on social media.
