The Chief Police Officer (CPO) of Faisalabad stated that the viral video was from a few days prior. He confirmed the suspension of one officer and reported that an application had been submitted to police headquarters for further action against other individuals involved.

It is worth mentioning that Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz had issued strict directives to crackdown on kite flying throughout the province. These directives came after a tragic incident in Faisalabad where a youth was fatally injured by a kite string while riding a motorcycle.
