A 19-year-old man has been mauled to death by a tiger during a TikTok video shoot at a wildlife breeding farm in Lahore, Pakistan, with police arresting a social media influencer and the farm owner over the incident.\n<\/p>\n
The victim, identified as Talha, was attacked on Wednesday after the animal was released from its cage for a social media video, according to a report by The Sun on Thursday.\n<\/p>\n
The report said the victim, who worked at the farm, was initially rushed to hospital in critical condition but later died from his injuries.\n<\/p>\n
Police arrested the farm owner, identified as Fayyaz, and online content creator Norman Hassan following the incident in Kahna, Lahore.<\/p>\n
According to The Sun, Hassan had requested that the female tiger be released from its cage at the wildlife breeding farmhouse for the video shoot.<\/p>\n
However, the animal reportedly pounced on Talha during the filming, while his father and brother, Hashim, who also worked at the facility, witnessed the attack.\n<\/p>\n
Police alleged that Hassan initially attempted to claim that the victim\u2019s injuries were caused by a dog attack.<\/p>\n
However, investigations reportedly established that the injuries were inflicted by a tigress. <\/p>\n
The animal has since been handed over to the Wildlife Department, while investigators are examining whether the farmhouse had the necessary licences to keep the tiger, The Sun reported.\n<\/p>\n
Reacting to the incident, police warned against risking human lives for social media content.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cA passion for TikTok cannot be more important than a human life.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one can be allowed to put human life at risk in the name of hobby or entertainment.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe attempt to hide the facts and every aspect of negligence will be investigated,\u201d the police said.\n<\/p>\n
The Lahore police also confirmed the arrests, saying, \u201cKahna police have arrested the farm owner and the TikToker.\u201d<\/p>\n
