Pakistani police have detained TikToker Muhammad Ansar Jatt, who goes by Mr Patlo online, and his brother Kashif Bashir over alleged threats against the family of a stampede victim. The Mr Patlo arrest follows a complaint that the two men pressured relatives of a man who died at a mehndi ceremony. A social media post said Sialkot Police made the arrest in a new case involving death threats, while a separate report said Daska Sadar Police took the brothers into custody. The reports differ on which police unit acted.
The complaint and the alleged threats
The case started with a complaint from Rehan's brother-in-law. Rehan was one of the people killed when the crush happened at a mehndi event. The complainant said the accused kept issuing threats to his household, warning of grave outcomes, and pushed the family to drop legal proceedings linked to the death. These remain allegations at this stage.
The stampede and the two cases
The crush took place at Faraz Ground during a mehndi event linked to Mr Patlo. Reports attribute it to alleged mismanagement, and two people died while dozens were hurt. Police first booked the main suspect under several legal sections. A second file was then opened over the alleged intimidation and harassment, and the two brothers were detained under it.
What police have said
Officials said the two men are still being questioned. They also assured the affected family of protection and warned that anyone found breaking the law would face action. More details may emerge as the questioning continues.
