Pakistani-American teen murdered by father over TikTok

⚠ Trigger Warning: Gender-based violence, Murder

A Pakistani-American teen has been murdered by her father over his daughter’s TikTok videos. The man, who had lived in the US for under three decades, had recently returned to Pakistan, bringing his family with him. Originally claiming that unidentified gunmen had murdered his 15 year old daughter, he confessed his crime to police.

According to police reports, the man (and supposedly the rest of the family) “had an objection to her lifestyle, and social gathering”, and that she had been creating, according to the father, “objectionable” content on TikTok while the family lived in the US. As of the time of this update, however, the phone remained locked, according to the police.
