ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani TikTok star was killed in the eastern city of Taxila this week after unidentified men opened fire on her, according to a copy of the police complaint.
Fazal Sahibzada, 28-year-old Bibi’s father, said in the complaint that the incident occurred on Aug. 14. He said Bibi, who was also popularly known as Ayesha Gilamana, received a call on her phone by a man he identified as Kashif alias “Kashi,” who told her to immediately come outside of their house.
Bibi, her 15-year-old sister Aseema and brother Naimatullah left the house in their car. Shortly afterwards, Sahibzada said he got to know Bibi had been shot dead while his other daughter had been injured severely.
Sahibzada said he arrived at THQ Hospital Taxila and identified Bibi’s body in the mortuary. There, Naimatullah told him that two unidentified men aged between 30-35 years had fired shots at their car from a motorcycle near a petrol pump. The bullets struck Bibi on the neck and killed her on the spot. The firing also caused the car to veer out of control and smash into another vehicle, injuring Aseema.
“My daughter Shamsoo Bibi used to make TikTok [videos] and had been doing so for nearly three to four years,” Sahibzada said in the complaint. “She had amassed around 1.3 million followers.”
