A member of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) rescue team was seriously injured while relocating an Indian Marsh crocodile at Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP ) on Friday. The injured animal keeper suffered serious injuries to his hand and is currently undergoing treatment at the local hospital. 

The animal rescuer seems to have had a streak of bad luck and was injured in another incident of rescuing a captive tiger to administer some health treatment at SNGP in June.

The incident occurred, said sources from SGNP told Sunday mid-day, when Rajendra Bhoir was attempting to rescue a four-foot long crocodile near Kanheri caves.
