Female TikToker gunned down, teenage sister injured in Taxila

TAXILA: A TikTok influencer was killed and her teenage sister critically injured in a targeted shooting incident on a busy road, police have reported. The assailant, believed to be a motorcyclist in his 30s, intercepted the sisters' car near the Taxila bypass and opened fire. The victim, who was originally from Haripur and lived in a private housing society, succumbed to her injuries at the scene while her sister was airlifted to Islamabad for critical treatment.

The incident, which took place in broad daylight, was allegedly a retaliation for a financial dispute between the victim and the gunman. Police have registered a target-killing case and are investigating the matter. Elsewhere in the region, two other tragic incidents occurred. In Malho village, two brothers were gunned down in a separate targeted killing.

Additionally, a 13-year-old boy lost his life after drowning in a village pond in Chappri area. Police have registered cases in all three incidents and are conducting further investigations.
