Hope is on the horizon for a Bangladeshi man left severely disfigured following a vicious tiger attack.
Hashmot Ali, 45, lost almost his entire face as a result of the incident – and multiple attempts to reconstruct his face have all failed thus far.
The father-of-three has been in ‘hiding’ for the 23 years since the brutal mauling out of fears he would be judged by cruel strangers.
He will now make the eight-hour journey to the country’s capital, Dhaka, to speak to reconstruction specialists in hope of having his face fixed.
Hashmot said: ‘I feel it’s very important that I get my looks back to normal by getting a good treatment. I desperately need to get my deformed face fixed.
