Two lion cubs at Gir National Forest, Gujarat, India, will be kept under observation following the killing of three villagers in the area. A male lion found to be the main culprit has been caged in a zoo for life

 

After three lions were given strict punishments over the killings of three villagers near the Gir National Forest in the western Indian state of Gujarat, two lion cubs in the sanctuary will be put under observation. The cubs, considered "juveniles", got the benefit of doubt in the case that saw the "arrest" of about 17 lions.
