A Pakistani teenage social networks influencer was shot dead in her home on Monday.
Sana Yousaf, 17, initially from Chitral in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, was a popular figure on TikTok and Instagram, with a combined fan count of a minimum of 1.3 million.
Pakistani broadcaster Samaa Television reported on Tuesday that the suspect had actually been jailed throughout a late-night operation and the murder weapon recuperated.
According to the everyday Dawn, the authorities signed up a case at the Sumbal station on Monday night based upon a problem by Yousaf’s mom, Farzana Yousaf.
The problem specified that a male with a handgun entered their home at around 5pm and “shot directly at my child with the intent to eliminate”, according to Dawn.
2 shots struck Yousaf in the chest, and she was stated dead at a regional healthcare facility. “The suspect got in your house, fired numerous shots, and after that ran away the scene,” The Express Tribune priced estimate an authorities source as stating.
The suspect had a “clever look, moderate body and height” and used a black t-shirt and pants, according to an authorities description. Yousaf’s mom declared she and her sister-in-law, Lateefa Shah, were eyewitnesses and might determine the suspect.
While the intention for the murder was still uncertain, Samaa Television reported that the suspect from Punjab had actually understood Yousaf and held a “individual animosity”.
Federal interior minister Mohsin Naqvi applauded the authorities for acting rapidly. “Well done, Islamabad authorities. Sana Yousaf murder case traced, implicated jailed, and weapon recuperated within 20 hours,” he published on X.
