This was not the first time such an incident was reported from Pakistan. Earlier in January this year, a 15-year-old girl was shot dead by her father and maternal uncle over TikTok videos in an alleged honour killing in Pakistan’s Quetta, ARY News reported. The father of the 15-year-old Hira was enraged over his daughter’s social media presence on TikTok and ordered her to stop making videos. However, when the daughter refused to obey, he hatched a plan with the girl’s maternal uncle to kill his daughter.

The police officials stated that Anwarul-Haq had shifted to America with his wife and children several years ago. He came to Pakistan with her daughter Hira on January 15 while his wife and two other daughters remained in the US. The police confirmed that the murder was premeditated, as Anwarul-Haq hatched the plot with Tayyab Ali. The police have arrested both the accused who confessed to the killing.
