‘Selfie’ drowns Karachi teenager

Craze of taking selfies claimed another life on Friday as a tourist from Karachi drowned in the Swat River.

Just like any other 19-year-old, Korangi resident Sheeraz thought that taking a picture near the Swat River would impress friends back home. However, little did he know that his attempt to impress his friends would cost him his life.

In an attempt to get closer to the river, he climbed onto a rock near Bagh Dherai, slipped on the wet surface and fell into the Swat River.

After a six-hour-long search, his body was recovered from Ningolai, Swat.
