Stampede At Pakistan Wedding Ceremony Leaves One Dead, Thirteen Injured
(MENAFN) At least one person was killed and 13 others sustained injuries in a stampede during a public wedding celebration in Pakistan’s eastern Punjab province on Sunday, according to rescue officials.
The incident took place at a stadium along Daska Road in Sialkot district, where a TikTok personality was hosting a wedding ceremony that had been opened to the general public through an open invitation.
Officials said the event attracted a particularly large crowd after organizers announced a prize draw as part of the celebrations. The announcement drew numerous people to the venue, creating a heavy gathering outside the stadium.

Police subsequently registered a case against those held responsible for the incident, according to rescue officials. Authorities have not provided further information about the investigation or whether any arrests have been made.
