Lahore police in Pakistan's Punjab province said that at about 5 p.m. on November 11, at a private wildlife breeding farm in the Kahna area of Lahore, a tigress that had been released from its cage to film a short video got out of control and mauled Talha, a 19-year-old farm employee. He was taken to a nearby hospital and later died of his injuries.

Police said the visiting short-video creator, Nouman Hassan, has about 2.5 million followers on Instagram. After the attack, Hassan and the farm owner, Fayyaz, initially described Talha's injuries as a dog attack in an attempt to conceal what had happened; investigators established that the injuries were inflicted by the tigress. Kahna police have arrested Hassan and Fayyaz and registered a case, and are investigating the tiger's ownership permit, the farm's safety arrangements and possible negligence.

Police said the tigress has been handed over to the wildlife authorities and Talha's body has been sent for a post-mortem examination. The investigation is continuing.
