Lahore: In an unfortunate incident, a pet lion was shot dead after it went loose in Lahore, ARY News reported on Saturday.

The incident occurred in Harbanspura area where a pet lion broke free from its cage at a Dera (house) of a resident.

The animal attacked at least three people, leaving them injured, before fleeing the premises and reaching a nearby nulla.

After failing to catch the animal, security guards resorted to shooting the lion to death.

Police arrived at the scene and initiated legal proceedings.

Keeping big cats as a pet is a growing trend among wealthy citizens as recently a YouTuber Rajab Butt was arrested for brandishing firearms in public and keeping a lion cub at his residence without a licence.

Police carried out a raid in collaboration with the Wildlife Department at his residence in the Chuhng area after it was reported that the YouTuber possessed wildlife without a licence and publicly displayed weapons.
