KARACHI – In a bizarre attempt to grab attention on Pakistan’s 78th Independence Day, a young boy sparked public outrage after climbing one of the walls surrounding the historic mausoleum of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, in Karachi.
The act, which was caught on camera and quickly went viral on social media, drew widespread criticism from citizens.
The viral video shows the boy is being detained by police officials for his disrespectful act. It is unclear whether he has been released or still in custody.
