SIALKOT – A wedding celebration turned into deadly nightmare, leaving two people dead and TikToker Mr Patlu facing serious legal trouble.
Amid legal troubles, Tiktok star Patlu shared an emotional video statement, accusing influential figures of using him and abandoning him when tragedy struck, while pleading for justice and defending his role in the ill-fated event.
The social media personality has been booked after the tragedy that claimed two lives and left several people injured, while he strongly distanced himself, saying that he had secured official permission before arranging the gathering. In his latest clip, Mr Patlu questioned why he was being blamed for an incident he described as unexpected, while claiming that his physical condition prevented him from appearing before investigators.
Defending the arrangements made for the event, Mr Patlu maintained that he got No Objection Certificate (NOC) before proceeding with the celebrations. He argued that an unforeseen accident caused by an overwhelming crowd should not automatically make him responsible for the consequences.
According to TikToker, his intention was to help financially struggling families and arrange marriages for underprivileged girls rather than create a dangerous situation. He questioned whether supporting people in need had now become an offence, insisting that his charitable activities were being overshadowed by the tragedy.
However, his account raised fresh questions because district authorities previously maintained that permission for the event had been withdrawn following alleged violations of the approved conditions.
In another allegation, Mr Patlu claimed that influential figures who previously maintained close ties with him had disappeared from his life after the incident. He alleged that prominent individuals had used their association with him for their own interests but were unwilling to support him when he became embroiled in legal proceedings.
According to his statement, several well-connected people had been in regular contact with him before the tragedy, yet none stood beside him when the situation turned serious. TikToker did not disclose the names of those he accused of abandoning him, nor did he provide evidence to substantiate the allegations.
His remarks have nevertheless added another controversial dimension to the case, which has already attracted considerable public attention.
Explaining his absence from the investigation, Mr Patlu claimed that his health had deteriorated to the point where he could neither get out of bed nor walk properly. He said his physical condition had made it impossible for him to present himself before police authorities, despite being nominated in the criminal case.
TikToker expressed frustration over the proceedings, arguing that his circumstances should be considered before conclusions were drawn about his conduct. His medical claims have not been independently verified, and it remains unclear whether supporting documentation has been submitted to investigators.
