“The video shows a caged tiger in India grabbing a child’s shirt while the child pleads for release.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video of a caged tiger grabbing a child’s shirt was uploaded by Lahore-based digital creator Nouman Hassan, known for sharing content featuring tigers and lions. Several videos on his profile show the same child interacting with tigers. News reports confirm that Hassan, a Lahore-based influencer, has a private collection of exotic animals and also acquired lions through auctions. The video is unrelated to India.
