Islamabad Police Chief Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi told reporters that Sana was killed as a consequence of "multiple refusals" she had made.

Pakistani police say 17-year-old TikTok star Sana Yousaf was shot dead by a man who contacted her online over and over. They called it a case of "repeated rejections."

Authorities say they believe Umar Hayat murdered Ms Yousaf at her home in Islamabad on Monday after she rejected what they called his "offers of friendship". He allegedly also repeatedly tried, and failed, to meet her. They say he broke into her home, fired two shots, stole her phone and fled.
