The Sialkot police have arrested six suspects and registered a case following a stampede at a mehndi (henna) event, which has resulted in two deaths. The incident took place at the Faraz Cricket Ground on Daska Road on Friday night. TikToker Muhammad Ansar Jatt, popularly known as "Mr Pattlo," had announced a mehndi event and prize-distribution ceremony at the venue.
Hundreds of people gathered at the site, leading to a stampede when the stadium gates opened. Initially, Rescue 1122 reported one death and 13 injuries, but residents claimed the number of injured was higher because many were taken to nearby hospitals by attendees. Sialkot police stated that 18 people were injured in the stampede, with one succumbing to their injuries at a government hospital, raising the death toll to two. The police have taken 50 motorcycles and a car intended for Friday's lucky draw into their custody.
