TikTok Star Sana Yousaf Shot Dead After Rejecting Suspect’s Advances

Islamabad police have arrested a 22-year-old suspect in connection with the murder of 17-year-old TikTok influencer Sana Yousaf. The suspect had reportedly contacted her multiple times online before the attack.

Incident Details

Sana, who had over 800,000 followers on TikTok, was shot at her home in Islamabad on Monday evening. Authorities confirmed that the suspect loitered outside her residence for hours before committing the crime.

Islamabad Inspector General Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi described the murder as "gruesome and cold-blooded," stating that the suspect had been repeatedly rejected by Sana.

Social Media Reaction & Investigation

The last video posted on Sana’s TikTok account, just hours before her murder, showed her cutting a cake for her birthday. Social media users have flooded her account with messages like "Rest in Peace" and "Justice for Sana."

Violence against women remains a serious issue in Pakistan, with past cases highlighting similar patterns. In 2021, Noor Mukadam was beheaded by her ex-boyfriend after rejecting his marriage proposal. In 2016, Khadija Siddiqui survived 23 stab wounds inflicted by a former partner.

Authorities have launched a full investigation, and the suspect remains in custody.
