A 19 years old man named Talha was torn apart to death by a tiger during a video shoot at a wildlife breeding farm in Lahore, Pakistan.
Police have arrested the farm owner and a social media influencer over the incident.
The attack happened on Wednesday.
According to reports, the tigress was let out of its cage so the influencer could film.
Talha worked at the farm.
He was rushed to hospital in critical condition but later died of his injuries.
His father and his brother, Hashim, who also works at the farm, saw the attack.
Police arrested the farm owner, Fayyaz, and online creator Norman Hassan in Kahna, Lahore.
Police say Hassan first claimed a dog had caused the injuries.
Investigators later found that a tigress was responsible.
The tiger has been handed over to the Wildlife Department.
Investigators are also checking whether the farm had the licences needed to keep it.
Police said no one should put lives at risk for a hobby or entertainment, and that any attempt to hide the facts or any negligence will be investigated.
