Four TikTokers shot dead in Pakistan
Karachi: Four TikTokers, which included a female user of the app, were shot dead in Pakistan's Karachi city on Tuesday, media reports said.
They were reportedly shot dead close to Anklesaria Hospital in Karachi's Garden area.
City Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Sarfaraz Nawaz Shaikh told Dawn News all four deceased were active on social media, particularly Tik Tok.
He said two of those who died, identified as Muskan and Amir, were friends.
"All four of them roamed the city and [Amir and Muskan] also made TikTok videos [during that time]," the police officer told the Pakistani newspaper.
"The woman was killed inside the car while all three men were shot outside the car. They were taken to the hospital but succumbed to their wounds," the official said.
Empty shells from 9mm pistols were found near the car, he said.
