Father confesses to killing daughter over TikTok in Quetta

In Quetta, Pakistan, a man named Anwar ul-Haq confessed to murdering his 15-year-old daughter over her 'objectionable' TikTok videos. Initially claiming that unidentified gunmen were responsible, he later admitted to the crime, motivated by disapproval of her dressing, lifestyle, and social activities. The family had recently returned to Pakistan after living in the United States for about 25 years, and the suspect holds US citizenship. Police are investigating the case as a potential honor killing and have charged Haq with murder, while his brother-in-law has also been arrested. Authorities have seized the victim's phone, which remains locked, and they are examining all aspects of the situation. With over 54 million users, TikTok has faced scrutiny in Pakistan for content deemed inappropriate, leading to the app's temporary bans in the past.
