      <title>US national teenage girl killed in Quetta over TikTok videos</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330400359/us-national-teenage-girl-killed-in-quetta-over-tiktok-videos</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In a shocking incident in Quetta, 17-year-old Hira Anwar, who had recently returned from the U.S., was fatally shot for making TikTok videos.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The police have detained her father, &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/10183754/family-guilty-of-belgian-honour-killing2011-12-13"&gt;uncle&lt;/a&gt;, and maternal uncle on suspicion, initiating an investigation into the case.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hira was targeted at the main &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/30278817"&gt;entrance&lt;/a&gt; of her home on Balochi Street, where she succumbed to her injuries at the scene.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authorities quickly arrived and transported her &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/amp/30283719"&gt;body&lt;/a&gt; to a hospital, where it was later released to her family following a post-mortem examination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Preliminary investigations revealed that Hira held American citizenship and had just returned to Pakistan with her parents a few days ago.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Police sources told Aaj News that Hira was warned against shooting and publishing TikTok videos but she refused to listen. This enraged her father and other male relatives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SHO Babar Baloch from Gwalmandi confirmed that the suspects have confessed to their involvement in the crime. He elaborated that Inwar-ul-Haq, Hira’s father, had moved to the U.S. with his family. He just returned to Quetta a few days ago.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is alleged that he conspired with his brother-in-law, Tayeb Ali, to carry out the murder. While Hira was taken outside, her maternal uncle reportedly shot her before the suspect returned inside.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following the incident, the police arrested Inwar-ul-Haq, along with the maternal uncle and uncle, on suspicion.&lt;/p&gt;
