Teen Mauled to Death by Tiger in TikTok Video as Police Make Arrests
Police are investigating permits and safety measures after the attack, and the tigress has been handed to wildlife authorities.
On Wednesday, 19-year-old Talha died in a hospital in Kahna, Lahore, Pakistan, after being mauled by a tiger during the filming of a social media video.
Police arrested farm owner Fayyaz and TikToker Norman after the tiger was released from its cage to serve as a prop for the filming stunt.
Lahore Police alleged attempts were made to claim a dog caused the fatal injuries, stating "a passion for TikTok cannot be more important than a human life."
Wildlife authorities have taken custody of the animal while officials examine whether the farm held legitimate permits for keeping the tiger and if safety protocols were followed.
A formal case has been registered regarding the incident, and the victim's body was moved to a morgue for an autopsy as authorities continue investigating the farm's operations.
After the deadly attack of a tiger on a 19-year-old in Pakistan, the police arrested three people. The cat of prey was taken from the enclosure for TikTok shots.
