Her father, Fazal Sahibzada, said that when he reached the THQ Hospital Taxila, his daughter’s body was in the mortuary, where he identified her.
Naimatullah, who survived the attack, told family members that the attackers appeared to be between 30 and 35 years old.
Family sources said Shamsho Bibi had been making videos on TikTok for the past three to four years and had amassed around 1.3 million followers and more than 30 million likes. Following her death, the family deactivated her TikTok account.
In his complaint to police, the victim’s father also cited a possible financial dispute as a motive for the murder. He accused Kausar and Javed alias Shaheen of having financial dealings with his daughter and allegedly threatening her. He said Shamsho Bibi had previously filed a complaint against the two individuals in Islamabad.
The victim’s father also raised questions about the role of Kashif alias Kashi, who allegedly called Shamsho Bibi shortly before the shooting and summoned her outside the house.
He suspected that the nominated individuals could have been directly involved in the murder or may have allegedly arranged the attack through others.
Police have registered a case under Sections 302, 324, 109 and 34 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
Investigators are particularly focusing on the phone call that allegedly prompted Shamsho Bibi to leave her home shortly before the fatal attack.
