On Wednesday, a woman named Ms K, 28, drowned in the Soan River after accidentally falling into the water while standing on a parapet wall at Soan Bridge, according to police. Ms K, an assistant with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), was reportedly making a TikTok video at the time of the incident. Eyewitnesses confirmed that she was on a low concrete wall near the bridge when she lost her balance and fell into the river.

Ms K resided in Gulistan Colony, Rawalpindi. Following the tragedy, Rescue 1122 teams conducted a search operation for over an hour, during which they recovered Ms K's body from the water and transported it to the District Headquarters Hospital.
