An Indian expat was allegedly killed in the UAE's Sharjah in broad daylight over a social media spat.
The 40-year-old man, identified as Ismail Ponnan Ibrahim Kutty, was in a social media dispute that escalated into a face-to-face confrontation.
During a live stream on TikTok, Kutty engaged in a verbal war with other users, which led to a group of suspects attacking, stabbing, and killing him.
Kutty was rushed to Al Qassimi Hospital but succumbed to his injuries shortly after.
Police have arrested multiple suspects in connection with the case, and the deceased's body is being repatriated to India.
