Four lions reportedly attacked and killed a 17-year-old youth at Lahore’s Safari Park, it emerged Wednesday.
According to reports, the body of the youth identified as Bilal was found in the lions’ cage at the park Wednesday afternoon.
Bilal was reported missing two days ago after his family had registered a complaint when he didn’t return home. They had said that he had gone to get grass.
A severed head and arms were found inside the cage and there were bloody clothes as well. Bilal’s father identified him because of his clothes.
However, it is not known how Bilal got inside the cage. While some reports suggest that Bilal went towards the cage of lions while cutting grass in the park where he was mauled by the lions, others say that the youth entered the lions’ cage, which resulted in his death.
The Safari Park administration and the police have launched an investigation into the matter to determine the cause behind the incident.
