In an exclusive interview with Voicepk, Niamatullah, the brother of the murdered TikToker Shamso Bibi (known online as Ayesha), revealed that police have failed to make any arrests following his sister’s fatal shooting in Taxila. Demanding immediate intervention from the Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif to ensure justice, Niamatullah said that while authorities claimed raids are underway across multiple locations, those responsible remain at large.
The update comes as exclusive CCTV footage capturing the attack was obtained. In the video, two assailants on a motorcycle are seen waiting in a market for Shamso Bibi’s car to approach before drawing a pistol, firing into the moving vehicle at close range, and speeding off.
Key details of the shooting
According to the case details Shamso Bibi was lured out of her home by a phone call from an individual named Kashif Kashi. She was driving near a private petrol pump with her 15-year-old sister, Asmia, and her brother when unknown assailants on a motorcycle intercepted the vehicle and opened fire.
Shamso Bibi was shot in the neck and critically injured. The gunfire caused the vehicle to lose control and crash into a dumper, severely injuring her 15-year-old sister, Asmia. Shamso Bibi later succumbed to her injuries.
According to the First Information Report (FIR) filed by the victim’s father, Shamso Bibi had been involved in an ongoing financial dispute with two individuals, identified as Kausar and Javed (alias Shaheen). The family confirmed she had received repeated threats from them. The FIR alleges the named individuals arranged the hit—either directly or through hired hitmen—to usurp the disputed funds.
A high-level police committee is utilizing technical surveillance and scene evidence to trace the suspects. Authorities are examining the caller’s connection, identifying passengers present during the drive, and coordinating with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) police, where the suspects are believed to be hiding.
Shamso Bibi was an active content creator on TikTok for four years, accumulating over 1.3 million followers prior to her death.

Landmark Justice: Sana Yousaf Murder Case
The June 2025 murder of 17-year-old TikToker Sana Yousaf remains the sole case in the region to achieve a full judicial conviction:
Suspect Umar Hayat was arrested just two days after the murder due to speedy police work. Police also recovered the murder weapon alongside the victim’s stolen iPhone. Eyewitness testimony from the victim’s mother and aunt secured the prosecution’s case in Judge Afzal Majoka’s court.
The District and Sessions Court ordered Umar Hayat to pay 2 million rupees in compensation to the victim’s family. Hayat has been sentenced to 21 years of rigorous imprisonment under multiple charges, including robbery, alongside a 500,000 rupees fine. He is currently serving his sentence at Adiala Jail while an appeal remains pending before the Islamabad High Court.
