A local court in Lahore has issued a written verdict in the case against Rujab Butt for the illegal possession of a lion cub.
The court has directed Rujab Butt to produce monthly vlogs on animal rights as part of his punishment.
During the hearing, the accused confessed to keeping the lion cub without proper permission or a license. The court's decision states that Rujab Butt will perform community service for one year, starting from February 2025 to January 2026. As part of this service, he must create vlogs about animal rights during the first week of every month.
In his statement, Rujab Butt admitted his mistake, saying, "I now realize that I was not authorized to keep the lion cub. My actions set a bad example, and I submit myself to the mercy of the court." The court further ruled that if the permission officer requires Rujab Butt to appear in person, he must comply.
The court ordered a compliance report to be submitted if the decision is not implemented.
