TikTok content creator Sumeera Rajput, who had over 58,000 followers, was found dead at her residence in Ghotki, Sindh, on July 25, 2025, as confirmed by police. Her 15-year-old daughter has alleged that her mother was poisoned by individuals who were pressuring Rajput into a forced marriage. Two suspects are currently in custody while the investigation is ongoing.
District Police Officer Anwar Shaikh reported that Rajput’s daughter claimed the suspects gave her mother poisonous tablets, causing her death. The body underwent a post-mortem at a local hospital, where Medical Superintendent Dr Sarwanand noted no signs of physical violence. Samples are being analysed to confirm the cause. No FIR has been filed, but the police are holding two suspects and pursuing multiple leads.
Shaikh stated, “The motive remains unknown, but we are investigating possible foul play.” The lack of physical injuries suggests poisoning, which aligns with the daughter’s allegations. The ongoing investigation aims to clarify the circumstances and identify the perpetrators.

Context of Violence Against TikTok Creators
Rajput’s death follows a troubling pattern. In June 2025, 17-year-old TikToker Sana Yousaf, who had 740,000 followers, was shot dead in the G-13/1 area of Islamabad. The Islamabad Police arrested the suspect, Umar Hayat, within 20 hours of the incident. These occurrences have raised concerns about the safety of female social media influencers.

Rajput’s million-plus TikTok likes highlighted her influence. Fans on X expressed their grief with posts such as: “Another TikToker lost to violence—justice for Sumeera!” This case emphasises the vulnerabilities faced by content creators, especially women, in Pakistan.
The incidents reflect societal challenges, including gender-based violence and pressures like forced marriage. Authorities face calls to strengthen influencer safety measures amid Pakistan’s growing digital landscape.
