This one, about a man reuniting with his family after two years thanks to a TikTok video is one such example. It all started in 2018 when the man named, R Venkateshwarlu, went missing from Telengana, his home state, reports the BBC. It was in a lucky twist of fate that a friend of Peddiraju’s saw a TikTok video shared by a cop from Punjab and identified Venkateshwarlu in it. Punjab police constable Ajaib Singh often shares TikTok videos of him distributing food to people. He lived only on rotis for the last two years, which he was not used to,” R Peddiraju told the BBC.
