Pakistani woman journalist slaps boy on camera; video goes viral

In a video going viral on the internet, a well-known Pakistani journalist is seen slapping a teen standing next to her on camera. The clip didn't show what provoked such an outrageous action from the journalist's side.

On July 9, the woman journalist was reporting on the festival of Eid Al-Adha. That was when she slapped the teenage boy on camera.

While she was talking about the holiday on camera, the teen appeared to have said or did something which prompted the journalist to slap him across the face.


Reports quoted the journalist as explaining that the teen was bullying one of the families during the live broadcast.

A day after the video was posted on Twitter, it got over five hundred thousand views and more than four hundred retweets.
