Viral Video: Is This Why Poverty Exists in Pakistan? Thieves Try to Snatch Phone From Bystander Then THIS Happens, Watch

Viral Video: Recently, a viral and hilarious video surfaced from Pakistan. The page "Ghar Ke Kalesh" posted a freaky prank video on the X platform. In it, two guys are seen wearing masks and going up to a man who is busy on a call. They tried to snatch the mobile from him. All of a sudden, that turns around. Just as they think they are getting away with the stolen phone, a man appears in the back of them, armed also, and points a gun at the two pranksters.

Prank Gone Wrong

In the viral video we can see this spur-of-the-moment view of a gun being pointed at them in such a threatening manner causes the two pranksters to freak out and admit the whole thing is a prank. But it all horribly went wrong-the man who pointed a gun at them bursts out laughing, clearly finding the whole thing hilarious rather than threatening. The footage was uploaded on September 9 and already has 125,000 views and a stream of comments.

Social Media Frenzy

People have responded to the prank with a mix of shock and humor. Many have berated the pranksters: "Now I understand why there is so much poverty in Pakistan!" This is a comment that reflects a larger conversation of socio-economic circumstance in the country, but in a light-hearted and sarcastic way.

The video reminds one that, more often than not, social media ideas can be pretty outlandish and unpredictable, with pranks ballooning into high-stakes scenarios while drawing attention and sparking discussions far beyond their initial intent.
