A 22-year-old man, Umar Hayat, has been formally indicted in Islamabad court for the June murder of 17-year-old TikTok influencer Sana Yousaf, who was shot at her home after reportedly rejecting his advances. Hayat, who pleaded not guilty, denied breaking into her residence, shooting her, or stealing her phone. Authorities described the killing as premeditated and brutal, with Hayat allegedly confessing to the crime and later expressing remorse. The case, which drew national outrage, has reignited debates over women's safety and gender-based violence in Pakistan, echoing past high-profile cases. The court adjourned the case until September 25.
