Chandigarh, July 13

A video of a Pakistani woman journalist slapping a boy during a live broadcast has gone viral.

The female reporter gave a tight slap to the boy standing next to her as soon as she finished her piece to camera (PTC).

The journalist can be seen surrounded by people. A young boy in white shirt is seen standing next to her. While she was presenting her piece to camera, the boy lifted his arm and called for another person. Though his voice is inaudible, the journalist was clearly seen slapping him.

Many users on Twitter claimed that the boy said something not nice after which the journalist lost her cool.

Many users wanted to know the reason of the slap, but got “DK (Don’t Know)” in reply.

The journalist’s behaviour has left Twitter divided. While some users supported her, others said her actions were unnecessary. Later, the journalist, Maira Hashmi, offered an explanation.

Hashmi tweeted: “This guy was harassing the family during the LIVE telecast. Didn’t give it another chance to be tolerated?”
