Boy, 8, Has Arm Amputated After Pet Lion Attack at Lahore Breeding Farm

Authorities launched a criminal probe at the licensed facility following provincial orders for fresh inspections.

Overview

  • The attack on Wajid Ali occurred at the Dola/Dolla Breeding Farm on 80‑Foot Road in Sabzazar, Lahore.
  • Doctors removed the child’s arm to save his life and later transferred him to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital for further care.
  • Police arrested owners Umar Iqbal and Ali Iqbal after investigators said the enclosure was inadequate and negligence led to the mauling.
  • Officials say the owners first tried to mislead hospital staff by claiming a machine injury before police traced the case and opened proceedings.
  • Punjab’s Wildlife Department sought a detailed report and expanded re‑inspections of private big‑cat holdings following earlier seizures and a policy review.
