A bizarre incident from Madhya Pradesh has gone viral after a drunk man was caught on camera offering alcohol to a tiger. The man, identified as Raju Patel, reportedly encountered the animal near Pench National Park while returning home late at night after drinking.
Believing the tiger was just a big cat, Raju walked up and offered it some of his leftover beer. The two stood face-to-face for a few minutes in complete silence. Fortunately, the tiger didn’t attack and calmly walked back into the forest.
Forest officials later confirmed through CCTV footage that the incident took place around 3 a.m. on October 4, 2025. They safely guided the tiger back into the woods. While some people jokingly called Raju fearless, others suspect the viral video might be AI-generated. Many commented that his liquor must have been too strong to make him think he could befriend a tiger.
A drunk man has no fear of the tiger — in fact, he’s confidently offering the tiger a drink!
