  "account": "A 19-year-old farm employee, Talha, was fatally attacked by a tiger while filming a TikTok video at a private farmhouse in Lahore's Kahna area, resulting in his death on November 11. The incident has sparked controversy regarding the safety measures and handling of dangerous animals for entertainment purposes. The farmhouse owner, Fayyaz, and TikToker Nauman Hassan, who arranged to film the video with the animal, have been apprehended. Police suspect that the tiger was taken out of its cage for the video shoot, leading to the fatal mauling. Talha's father, Munir Ahmed, alleges that the victim was asked to participate in the video after the animal was released from its enclosure. The Punjab Wildlife Department has taken custody of the tiger, and authorities are investigating whether the farmhouse had the necessary permits to keep the big cat, if safety measures were adequate, and if negligence played a role in the tragedy. The Punjab government had introduced stricter regulations in 2025 governing the possession and breeding of big cats, requiring licenses and adherence to safety standards.",
