A YouTuber was shot dead by unknown men during a tussle which ensued from a prank being filmed for social media, according to a TV report.

According to details, the trio behind Lahori Vines, including Rana Zuhair, Hasnat Ali and Abdul Saboor, was filming a video in which they were pranking people by scaring them while pretending to be a ghost.

However, things took a turn for the worse when they tried to prank a family in a park near Lytton Road. The men of the family did not find the prank funny and opened fire on Zuhaib, killing him instantly.

The police have arrested Ali and Saboor on suspicion that they might be the masterminds behind their friend’s killing.
