A popular TikTok influencer was allegedly shot dead by her husband in Islamabad on the first day of Eidul Fitr, before the suspect turned the gun on himself.
The incident occurred in the parking area of a market in DHA Phase II, within the jurisdiction of Humak Police Station.
The victim has been identified as Sana Javed, a resident of Attock, who ran a TikTok account under the name “OutLofara”.
According to police, the suspect, Muhammad Sadiq - also from Attock and a former constable in Attock Police who had been dismissed from service — shot his wife before shooting himself in the head.
Three bullet casings and a 9mm pistol were recovered from the scene.A private security guard who was on duty in the market told police that he heard gunshots and saw a woman in a red dress lying on the ground.
He alleged that a man, approximately 24 years old, was standing nearby holding a pistol. The man then shot himself in the head in front of the guard, who immediately informed his superiors, leading to the police being notified.
This is the second high-profile murder of a female TikToker in Islamabad in less than a year.
In June last year, 17-year-old TikToker Sana Yousaf was gunned down in her home, with police arresting a suspect who allegedly killed her after she repeatedly rejected his advances.
