Sana Yousaf, a 17-year-old TikTok star in Pakistan, was shot dead at her home in Islamabad, in a suspected case of honour killing.

The incident happened on Monday, and according to a report with The Express Tribune, Sana was shot at close range by an unidentified assailant.

The gunman reportedly entered her home and opened fire before fleeing the scene.

Sana, who hailed from Chitral in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, had gained popularity through her TikTok videos.

Other local media reports suggested that the suspect in the case may have been a guest at Sana’s residence.

“Sana Yousuf, who hailed from Upper Chitral and resided in Sector G-13 of Islamabad, was fatally shot by a guest who had come to visit her at her residence. The assailant fled the scene immediately after the incident, and police have launched a manhunt to apprehend the suspect," police officials were quoted as saying.

Her body was later shifted to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) for a post-mortem examination.

Meanwhile, the police were investigating the case and were yet to arrest the accused.

The motive behind the murder remains unclear.
