Mother Of Two Addicted To Tiktok Consumes Poision & Dies, After Being Scolded By Husband

In a shocking incident, mother of two children committed suicide on May 13 in Tamil Nadu after she was scolded by her husband for using the popular video making app - TikTok. 24-year-old Anitha recorded herself as she drank the poison and then sent the video via WhatsApp to her husband, who was in Singapore.

According to reports in IANS, Anitha’s husband Pazhanivel did not appreciate his wife’s TikTok addiction and had asked her to quit.

In the video, Anitha is seen drinking a dark-coloured liquid from a white bottle before coughing. She dies soon after it. The incident obviously attracted criticism online and the video surfaced on a few YouTube channels as well.

However, this is not the first time TikTok has led to somebody’s death. In a similar incident, earlier in January, a 15-year-old girl from Mumbai hung herself in her house on her birthday, after her grandmother scolded her for constantly being hooked to TikTok.

Later in April, a 19-year-old man from Delhi died after his friend allegedly shot him while making a video on the app. They were making the video inside an SUV and using a real gun as a part of the video.

The incident took place at Barakhamba Road and police said the victim, Salman, was with three friends at the time of the incident. All three of his friends have been arrested. A case was registered against the accused under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act, 1959.

Not so long ago, Madras High Court banned TikTok, because it believed that the app encouraged pornography. On April 24, they lifted the ban with one condition that the platform should not be used for obscene videos.

The app was pulled down from both, Google Play Store and Apple's App Store until April 25 - a day after the Madras High Court's Madurai Bench lifted the ban.

A short clip of a man using a police van to create a short video caught many eyeballs. Shared by Sayyed Mobin Ahmad, the video was recorded in Nagpur district of Maharashtra. As he walked down the steps of the police van, the soundtrack ‘Miya Bhai’ could be heard in the background. The next frame showed the area around, which looked like a police station, and in the final frame the man is seen getting out of a Renault.
