A 19-year-old man from Delhi was killed while recording a TikTok video when his friend accidentally shot him with a pistol that was involved in the video-making process.

Salman, along with his friends Sohail and Amir, had gone to the India Gate to record videos to share on the media app TikTok that recently became famous among young adults across the globe. The boys were inside a car when they were trying to record a video of Sohail pretending to shoot Salman with the pistol. The little stunt proved to be fatal for Salman as he got shot on his cheek when Sohail accidentally pulled the trigger on him. They immediately rushed Salman to a hospital where he was declared brought dead.

Sohail and Amir fled the scene soon after, with Sohail changing out of his blood-stained clothes and Amir getting rid of the pistol. They were both tracked and arrested by the police soon after when the hospital authorities informed the officials. The accused men have been booked under the Arms Act.
