In a shocking incident recently, a caretaker of a holy place in Lahore unleashed his pet lion on an electrician after the electrician demanded wages. The police have lodged a case of attempt to murder against the caretaker according to Pakistani media reports. The incident occurred on September 9 in the capital of Punjab province. However, a complaint was filed only two days ago. According to the police, Mohammad Rafique, the electrician didn't find any complaint against Ali Raza, the caretaker of congregation hall Sada-e-Imam Hussain, as he has been promised proper treatment of the injuries he received in the lion attack.

Police's statements

The police added that when Ali Raza refused to get Rafique's wounds treated and issue any compensation for the same he had promised, Rafique lodged the complaint. Ali Raza had hired the electrician for some work at the congregation hall. When Rafique demanded the wages after completion of the work, Raza told him to come later. The caretaker kept avoiding and delaying the payment. But when Rafique approached Raza a lot of times, he got irritated and unleashed his pet lion on him. According to the local police, the lion wounded Rafique's face and arm. Police said that Rafique's cries for help alerted some passers-by who rescued him from the lion. A case has been lodged against Ali Raza under section 324 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
