India and Pakistan, both cricket-obsessed nations, ignite unparalleled fervor when their teams clash in international tournaments. Wins are celebrated like festivals, while losses are unbearable.
Pakistani fans, in particular, have been known to vent their frustration by smashing television sets whenever their team falls to India. However, this year’s IND vs. PAK showdown during the T20 World Cup 2024 escalated to a violent shoot-out and bloodshed.
Before the highly anticipated India vs. Pakistan match in the T20 World Cup, a disturbing incident unfolded in Lahore city. YouTuber Saad Ahmed ventured into the mobile market to create a vlog capturing the pre-match excitement.
While interviewing various individuals about the upcoming clash, he encountered an uncooperative security guard who declined to be part of the video.
After enduring repeated questioning, the security guard lost his temper and tragically shot the YouTuber. Despite being rushed to the hospital, Saad was pronounced dead upon arrival, according to multiple reports.
