Social media reactions to TikToker Sana Yousaf’s murder raise concerns

The killing of 17-year-old TikTok star Sana Yousaf in Islamabad’s G-13 Sector on Monday has drawn significant attention, not only due to the crime itself but also because of responses on social media.

While many expressed shock and sadness over her tragic death, some online reactions have sparked controversy.

Some social media users criticised Sana over her TikTok use and even went as far as to express support for the act of violence.

Sana, originally from Chitral, was shot at close range inside her home by an unidentified assailant. Police have suggested that the suspect may have been a guest at her house at the time of the incident.

The investigation is ongoing, with the suspect reportedly arrested.

The responses on social media, with some users expressing praise for the killer, have raised concerns.

Many others, however, have condemned these reactions, urging authorities to take appropriate action against those encouraging violence.
