TikToker Rajab Butt has been sentenced by a judicial magistrate after being found guilty of keeping a lion cub, an act that has sparked outrage. The Rajab Butt case has caught widespread attention due to the severity of the crime and the court’s decision.
Rajab Butt Jail Sentence Details:
Rajab Butt, a popular social media influencer, was sentenced to 50,000 rupees in fines and a significant community service requirement. The court directed that Rajab Butt, in the aftermath of the charges being proven, create monthly vlogs related to animal rights protection. These vlogs must be uploaded on his social media accounts, featuring discussions on the protection and rights of animals.
The Rajab Butt case took a further turn as the court specified that these vlogs will be posted on social media after approval from a probation officer in the first week of each month. The court has also instructed the Wildlife Department to provide relevant materials to Rajab Butt to educate him on animal protection.
The court has imposed additional conditions, including a requirement that Rajab Butt attend any personal summons issued by the probation officer. Failure to comply with the court’s decision will lead to a report being filed, which could result in further penalties.
Background of Rajab Butt’s Arrest:
The Rajab Butt case began last month when the Wildlife Department, with the assistance of police, arrested Rajab Butt for receiving a lion cub as a wedding gift from a friend in a private housing society near Chuhang. This incident triggered public outrage and led to the legal actions now unfolding.
Although the judicial magistrate did not impose jail time in the Rajab Butt case, the severity of the court’s directives means that Rajab Butt’s actions will be closely monitored for compliance. The possibility of jail time in future hearings remains if the conditions laid out by the court are not met.
