During a TikToker‑hosted wedding on Daska Road in Sialkot, a crowd stampede caused one death and more than a dozen injuries.

A wedding ceremony at a stadium on Daska Road in Sialkot district, Punjab, Pakistan, ended in tragedy on Sunday when a stampede killed one person and injured dozens. Rescue officials say the event, which was held in a stadium that was open to the public, drew a large crowd after a prize draw announced for the TikToker’s celebration attracted many fans.
According to Xinhua, the heavy gathering outside the venue caused a crush that knocked people down. They reported that one 30‑year‑old man was killed and 13 others were injured. The same figure of 13 injuries is echoed by a post from Naya Mahaz on Facebook.
In contrast, The Truth International states that 14 people were injured during the stampede at the TikToker’s mehndi event. The difference in injury counts shows how quickly news can vary when an incident is unfolding.
Police have registered a case against the culprits and opened a criminal complaint for alleged security failures at the venue. The FIR is an official step to investigate how the crowd control measures failed during the celebration.
