Vijay, along with a female tiger, Kalpana, and their four cubs, are housed in the enclosure.

Khan said that the tiger family is being temporarily shifted to another enclosure.

In 2014, Vijay had mauled a 20-year-old man to death after the man jumped into the enclosure.

Since the incident, the nineyear-old male white tiger has become a star attraction at the National Zoological Park.
