Story summary

A 19-year-old farm worker named Talha was mauled to death by a lioness (identified as a tigress in some reports) at a private breeding facility in Kahna, Lahore, Pakistan. The attack occurred on Wednesday after the animal was released from its cage to film a TikTok video, causing the predator to become erratic and attack the victim. The victim was rushed to a private hospital but died from his injuries. Police arrested the farmhouse owner, Fayyaz, and the TikToker, identified as Nauman (or Nouman Hassan), following the incident. A third individual was also arrested in connection with the death according to Mail Online. Investigators are currently looking into whether the farm possessed the necessary permits to house the animal and if adequate safety measures were in place. Authorities also noted that there were initial attempts to conceal the facts of the incident by falsely claiming the victim was attacked by a dog. The animal has since been confiscated by wildlife authorities while the victim's body was sent for a postmortem.
