Brainless TikTokers Nearly Die While Driving Vigo in River, Get Arrested After Rescue

TikTok influencer Sultan Virk, who calls himself the “Sultan of Virkgarh,” was among four tourists arrested in Naran for recklessly driving his Toyota Vigo across the Kunhar River.

According to police, the group drove the vehicle into the river despite Section 144 being in force in Mansehra district, where authorities had barred people from going near rivers and bathing points due to safety risks.

The stunt reportedly went wrong while the men were filming video content, with all four falling into the fast-flowing river. Rescue teams managed to pull them out safely before the situation turned fatal.

Police later took the four men into custody and presented them before a court. They were identified as Sultan, son of Zahid Jameel, Ali Usman, son of Shahbaz, Mohsin Khan, son of Muhammad Zaman, and Asif Ali, son of Muhammad Akram, all residents of Sheikhupura.

Sultan Virk’s involvement gave the incident wider attention online, where he is known for his flashy rural landlord lifestyle and self-styled persona as the “Sultan of Virkgarh.”

He is also reported to be the son of Chaudhry Zahid Jamil Virk, a former DSP, a detail that has fueled public criticism and speculation after claims emerged that he was able to evade police custody shortly after his arrest.

DSP Sadaqat Khan said the Vigo, which had been swept away by the Kunhar River, was recovered on Thursday.
