The online world lost a young talent in a shocking incident. Sana Yousaf, a 17-year-old TikTok creator, was shot inside her home on Monday evening. This tragic event took place in Islamabad’s Sector G-13/1 and has raised fresh worries about the safety of social media users.

People across the community are in shock after a violent crime took place. The murder occurred in the area covered by Sumbal police, drawing strong reactions from online users and human rights defenders. This event has once again highlighted concerns about safety and justice.
Many knew Sana Yousaf as a popular TikTok creator with a large fan base. At the time of the tragic event, only her aunt was present with her inside the home. This detail has caught the attention of many who are following the case closely.
At the time of the incident, most of the family was away from home. Her father was on duty as a government worker, and her mother had gone to the market. Their 15-year-old brother was visiting their hometown, Chitral, after completing his exams. The family’s living space was in the upper part of the house where the tragedy happened.
Police Share New Clues in Sana Yousaf’s Case
Before the attack, a chilling moment took place. The suspect approached Sana Yousaf to speak, and they exchanged a few words. Her aunt informed the police that she heard Sana Yousaf say, ‘Please leave, there are cameras everywhere. I’ll bring you some water.’ Moments later, the attacker fired two shots into her chest, cutting the conversation short forever.
Following the tragic incident, Sana Yousaf body was taken to PIMS Hospital. There, medical professionals conducted a detailed postmortem to determine the exact cause of death.
The investigation began quickly after the incident. Sana Yousaf mother filed a murder case under Section 302, stating she could recognize the suspect on sight. Early findings indicate the victim and accused had a prior connection. The authorities continue to look into the matter carefully.
Authorities acted swiftly in their search for the suspect. Just 20 hours after the crime, Islamabad Police arrested Umar Hayat, also known as ‘Kaka,’ in Faisalabad. This quick response highlights their strong commitment to delivering justice.
Thanks to careful detective work, the suspect was quickly found. Sources say that police used security camera footage along with mobile phone data to make the arrest. This combination of tools played a key role in solving the case.
Authorities have made significant progress in the case as Hayat, a TikTok user around 22 or 23 years old, confessed to the murder. He mentioned that he knew the victim personally. After the crime, he fled to Faisalabad but was quickly arrested and is now being brought back to Islamabad for further questioning.
As part of the ongoing investigation, the police have secured key evidence. They recovered the weapon used in the killing along with the clothes the suspect wore during the incident. These findings are crucial for building the case.
The investigation uncovered important clues from surveillance videos. They showed Hayat moving slowly while checking his phone after the shooting, then suddenly running. Authorities believe he fled Islamabad by car, using the motorway to get away quickly.
In the latest update, police have arrested the individual involved, who has admitted to the murder. However, the reason behind the act is still being looked into.
Concerns are increasing over the safety of women active on social media platforms. Recently, in Khushab, a young woman creating content on TikTok was tragically killed by a relative. This shocking event highlights the urgent need for better protection of female creators online.
Tragic events involving female social media users have been making headlines recently. Earlier this year, a woman active online was found dead at her home in Peshawar. In January, a US-born teen lost her life in Quetta when her father attacked her over her TikTok videos and lifestyle choices. Not long before that, a similar incident occurred in Sialkot, where a brother took the life of his sister because of her presence on social media. These stories highlight the growing dangers faced by women in the digital world.
Updates are still awaited as investigators carry on with their work. Once the postmortem report is ready, more facts about the case will be revealed.
