The incident occurred on July 3, when a lion escaped from a private farmhouse and attacked a family, injuring two children and a woman.

According to police, the lion had escaped due to an unsecured enclosure on the property. The injured were shifted to Jinnah Hospital, where the condition of two children remains critical.

Maryam Nawaz reiterated that the illegal keeping of wild animals will not be tolerated anywhere in Punjab and vowed strict action against violators.
