On Monday, a video of two young girls went viral on social media. The video showed two girls playing with a pistol, and then one of them fatally shooting her cousin before turning the gun on herself. The incident took place in the city of Hyderabad, Pakistan.
The video, which is around two minutes long, was uploaded on social media by the girls themselves. It quickly spread on various social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter. The video has since been taken down from most platforms, but it is still circulating on some.
The Girls
The girls were identified as 18-year-old Aqsa and her 13-year-old cousin Saba. Both girls were residents of Hyderabad and were students at a local school. According to reports, Aqsa had brought the pistol from her father’s house, where he works as a security guard.
The girls were reportedly home alone when the incident took place. The video shows the two girls laughing and playing with the pistol before Aqsa points the gun at Saba’s head and pulls the trigger. Saba falls to the ground, and Aqsa can be heard saying, “I killed her.”
The Aftermath
After shooting her cousin, Aqsa turns the gun on herself and can be heard saying, “I am also going to die.” The video ends with the sound of a gunshot. According to reports, both girls died on the spot.
The incident has shocked the city of Hyderabad, and the video has sparked outrage on social media. Many people have criticized the girls for their actions, and some have blamed their parents for not supervising them properly.
The Investigation
The police have launched an investigation into the incident and have arrested Aqsa’s father and two other relatives. According to reports, the police are trying to determine how Aqsa was able to bring the pistol from her father’s house.
The incident has once again highlighted the issue of gun control in Pakistan. According to a report by the Small Arms Survey, Pakistan has one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the world, with an estimated 44 million firearms in circulation.
The Impact of Social Media
The incident has also raised questions about the impact of social media on young people. The fact that the girls recorded and uploaded the video themselves has led some people to question whether they were seeking attention or trying to become famous.
The incident has also highlighted the need for parents and educators to monitor the online activities of young people and to educate them about the dangers of social media.
The Need for Action
The incident has once again highlighted the need for action to be taken to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future. This includes stricter gun control laws, better education about the dangers of firearms, and greater supervision of young people.
We must all work together to ensure that tragedies like this do not happen again.
