Authorities suspect the shooter was a visitor, possibly a cousin, based on initial family statements. Sana, an MBBS first-year student, received two bullets. Police are reviewing CCTV footage and forensic evidence to trace the suspect.
Sana’s death is part of a worrying trend of violence against TikTokers in Pakistan, following the murders of Iqra in Khushab and Hira in Quetta due to “objectionable” content.
