Sana Yousuf, a TikTok content creator originally from Upper Chitral, was tragically shot dead at her residence in Islamabad’s G-13/1 sector on Monday.

According to police reports, unidentified assailants forcibly entered Yousuf’s home within the Sumbal police jurisdiction and opened fire, resulting in her immediate death. The attackers fled the scene before law enforcement arrived.

Authorities have initiated an investigation, exploring all possible motives, including the potential of an honor-based crime. The body has been transferred to a local hospital for a postmortem examination.

This incident follows a similar case earlier this year, where a man in Quetta confessed to killing his teenage daughter over her TikTok activity, highlighting ongoing concerns about the safety of social media influencers in Pakistan.

The tragic death of Sana Yousuf has sparked outrage on social media, with many calling for swift justice and better protection for content creators. Authorities urge anyone with information to come forward to assist in the investigation.
