Pakistan Viral Video: Pakistan is yet again under the scanner after a video went viral where a crowd of men was allegedly harassing a few women. The video, as soon as it was shared, triggered many people, who began to pose questions on the safety and security of women in the neighbouring country. The authenticity of the video is not verified, however, many pointed out that the clip was of a game called ‘Taharrush’, which is played in Pakistan. The date and location of the incident could not be confirmed.
In the video, a few women were seen stuck in the middle of a crowd, while the men around them seemingly handled the situation in a questionable manner. Some, as it seemed, were also trying to protect the said women. However, the video eventually left Pakistan with countless questions over its law and order and women's safety.
The video was shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘Islam Watch’. The video was then reshared by the handle ‘gharkekalesh’. The post was captioned, “Ladies being h@rassed in Crowd, Somewhere in Pakistan”.

This is not taught in our society!! And why so many people are gathering and doing this?” wrote a fourth user.

This is the everyday life of many women and minorities in Pakistan,” said another.
