Ahmedabad: A shocking video has gone viral on social media drawing flak from animal lovers as it shows some miscreants in a car chasing a desperate lion cub through a forest.

The purported incident took place in Visavadar taluk of Junagadh district located close to the Gir Wildlife Sanctuary in Gujarat on June 17.

The video, which lasts around one minute, shows the cub running frantically ahead of the car on a narrow path at night to save its life.

Although none of the occupants of the car could be seen in the video, one of them is heard asking the driver in Gujarati to chase the cub: "Increase speed, hit it... go fast.. shoot it.. we will not get the chance again." 

The cub, however, disappeared into the bushes and escaped unhurt.
