Sana Yousuf’s last conversation with killer emerges

ISLAMABAD: The final conversation of the slain TikToker Sana Yousuf has come to light, moments before she was fatally shot outside her residence, as reported by ARY News.

According to initial reports, 22-year-old Umar Hayat, alias Kaka, had been persistently pursuing Sana Yousuf for “friendship”, but the TikToker had repeatedly rebuffed his advances, ultimately provoking his violent outburst.

Eyewitness accounts and sources close to the developments suggest that during their last encounter, Sana attempted to de-escalate the situation, saying, “You’re getting agitated, leave this place. There are CCTV cameras, please depart,” just before the sound of gunfire was heard.

The TikToker was shot dead in Islamabad on Monday by an assailant allegedly motivated by a personal vendetta.

Sana Yousuf sustained two gunshot wounds and succumbed to her injuries on the spot as the suspect managed to flee. The deceased’s body was shifted to PIMS Hospital, where a post-mortem examination was conducted, and after completing the requisite legal formalities, the body was handed over to her family. The Islamabad Police have apprehended 22-year-old Umar Hayat, known as Kaka, who is accused of forcibly entering the residence of the 17-year-old social media personality and fatally shooting her in a shocking act of violence.

Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi had commended the swift action taken by law enforcement, stating in a post on X, “Well done Islamabad Police. Sana Yousuf murder case solved, accused arrested, and weapon recovered within 20 hours.”

During a press briefing, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Islamabad, Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, revealed that the prime suspect, 22-year-old Umar, had harbored a desire to befriend Sana Yousuf, and after she consistently rejected his overtures, he allegedly resorted to the extreme measure of murdering her.
