Supporters of his relocation cited concerns about human safety and the need to avoid further incidents.While in captivity at Sajjangarh Biological Park, Ustad's life became less visible to the public, and he was kept in a controlled environment. His situation drew attention from animal rights activists and organizations who advocated for his return to the wild.
