A video featuring a father and his two children struggling in the sea near Defence Phase VIII in Karachi has gone viral.

Shehbaz Younas, accompanied by his two children, went to the beach to play, however, his children reportedly got stuck in a riptide. Younas jumped in to help his children. Security guards hurried to get them out of the sea and they were taken to the nearby private hospital, as confirmed by DG South.

In a heart wrenching turn of events, the father could not survive while the children are now out of danger.
