15-year-old k*lled by sister for having more TikTok followers than her

A 15-year-old girl has allegedly been killed by her elder sister in Gujranwala after a dispute over TikTok followers escalated into a fatal attack, police said.

Ladhe Wala Warraich police arrested the 18-year-old suspect and registered a First Information Report (FIR) on the basis of a complaint by the girls’ father Abdul Shakoor Khan.

While talking to private media outlet, Station House Officer (SHO) Muhammad Afzal said that the alleged murder weapon had been recovered.

He said the suspect’s initial statement indicated that the sisters had both been making TikTok videos and that tensions arose because the younger sister had more followers.

According to the police report submitted to senior officers, the suspect allegedly accused her sister Zobia Manahil also known as Ayesha, of taking her followers.

The argument reportedly escalated before the suspect attacked her with a sharp-edged weapon, striking her in the back.

The FIR, however, describes the immediate dispute as being over a financial matter.

It states that family members were sitting in the courtyard while guests were visiting when they heard a commotion from the roof.

When relatives went upstairs, they allegedly found the sisters arguing. The elder sister then picked up a knife from the kitchen and struck Zobia, according to the FIR.

The girl bled profusely while family members attempted to provide first aid, but she died from blood loss, the FIR said.

The girls’ father said he had handed his elder daughter over to police himself and intended to pursue the case against her.

A relative, Ghulam Rasool, said the sisters had started making TikTok videos and food vlogs in an effort to become financially independent.

He described both as obedient children and said the family was devastated by the death of one daughter and the arrest of the other.

Lawyer Sheikh Usman said suspects cannot be denied legal representation because relatives or a private lawyer are unavailable.

He said courts can provide state-funded legal assistance to eligible defendants
