Sialkot police have arrested TikToker Muhammad Ansar Jatt, known as "Mr Pattlo," for allegedly threatening the family of a man who died in a stampede. The incident occurred during a wedding event at Faraz Cricket Ground in Daska Road on October 30th. A stampede took place when the stadium gates opened, resulting in two deaths and 18 injuries.
The police registered a first information report (FIR) naming Jatt, his brother, the owner of the cricket ground, six others, and 40-45 unidentified security guards. The family of one of the deceased men, Mohammad Abu Bakar, filed a separate FIR at the City Daska police station accusing Jatt of threatening them with serious consequences if they did not reach a compromise.
Abu Bakar claimed that on November 6th, four unknown individuals approached his family at his in-laws' residence in Gujranwala's Mafiwala area and threatened to kill them if they did not settle the matter with Jatt and his brother. Following the arrest, Jatt was granted protective bail by the Islamabad High Court until November 10th, allowing him to avoid arrest while seeking legal remedy.
He appeared before a Sialkot court on November 7th and was ordered to return to court on November 10th.
