Doing things for fun to get more “likes” on Facebook lands a youth in jail.
Fazal was detained yesterday after the photos which he clicks last year were circulated on social networking sites.
The police have booked him under section 448 (trespass) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Wildlife Protection Act.
Fazal is a resident of Moinpura in Old City of Hyderabad. He is student of a local madrassa and also works as a mechanic at an automobile workshop.
Mohammed Muthakabir alias Fazal Sheikh, 22, decided to get inside an enclosure inside the Nehru Zoological Park and pose standing atop the seniormost inhabitant — a Galapagos tortoise that’s over 120 years old and also with an emu.
“I wanted to put it up on Facebook that was my only intention. I got a lot of likes but it proved costly for sure,” said Mr Shaik.
“This will prove a lesson for many others trying such misadventures,” said Ramakrishna Rao, Curator of the Nehru Zoological Park.
