Overview

• The victim, Hira, was a 15-year-old American-born girl whose father, Anwar ul-Haq, confessed to killing her in Quetta, Pakistan, over her TikTok videos.
• Police revealed that the father, with help from the girl's maternal uncle, planned and executed the murder, initially blaming unidentified gunmen before confessing.
• The family had recently returned to Pakistan after living in the US for 25 years, with the father objecting to Hira's lifestyle, dressing, and social media presence.
• The case is being investigated as a possible 'honour killing,' a widespread issue in Pakistan where over 1,000 women are killed annually for perceived damage to family honour.
• Both suspects have been arrested, and the case has been transferred to the Serious Crime Investigation Wing for further inquiry.
