A 13-year-old boy’s attempt to create a TikTok video resulted in the death of an 8-year-old child in Faisalabad’s Madina Town. Police reported that the 13-year-old, identified as Muneeb, was driving a car and filming himself when he struck 8-year-old Yousaf.

Yousaf, who was attending a wedding, succumbed to his injuries after treatment at Allied Hospital. Police swiftly arrested both Muneeb and the individual filming the TikTok video following the incident.

A case has been registered against four named individuals at Madina Town Police Station.

Yousaf’s father stated that he and other neighbors had repeatedly warned Muneeb’s parents about his driving, but their concerns were ignored.

The incident highlights the dangers of reckless behavior fueled by the pursuit of viral content on social media platforms.
