TikTok has suspended Faizal Siddiqui’s account for promoting acid attack on women through a video brings storm to social media.

Faizal Siddiqui’s TikTok account can no longer be accessed and has caught attention of the National Commission for Women (NCW).

The controversy around the video also resulted in hundreds of users leaving 1-star reviews for the app on app stores.

The video shows Siddiqui threatening a girl who left him for another guy. In response, the controversial star threw acid on her face. To show the acid attack stars, the girl wore a heavy makeup which can resemble them.

Before throwing liquid onto the girl’s face, he mouths the dialogue: “Tumhe usne chhorr diya jiske liye tumne mujhe chhorra tha?”

This is completely disgusting.
