TAXILA: Police have made significant progress in the murder case of TikToker Shamsoo Bibi, also known as Gilamana Ayesha, detaining four suspects, including two alleged facilitators of the fleeing suspects.
According to police, the suspects were traced with the help of Safe City cameras and closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage. Investigators said the alleged attackers were riding a motorcycle without a registration plate and were wearing helmets.
Gilamana Ayesha was killed and her 15-year-old sister, Asma, was seriously injured in a shooting two days ago. Police said two unidentified motorcycle riders opened fire on their vehicle near a petrol station.
According to the first information report (FIR), Gilamana Ayesha allegedly received a phone call on August 14 from a man identified as Kashif alias Kashi, who asked her to come outside her home immediately.
She subsequently left her house in a vehicle along with her 15-year-old sister Asma and her brother Naimatullah. Shortly afterward, two unidentified motorcycle riders opened fire on the vehicle near a petrol station.
A bullet struck Gilamana Ayesha in the neck, killing her at the scene. Following the shooting, the vehicle went out of control and collided with another vehicle, leaving her younger sister seriously injured.
The victim’s father, Fazal Sahibzada, said he reached Tehsil Headquarters (THQ) Hospital Taxila, where his daughter’s body had been placed in the mortuary. He identified the body there.
Police said further investigation was underway to determine the motive behind the killing and establish the role of those detained and the remaining suspects.
