15-Year-Old TikToker Raped and Killed in Sindh

In a tragic incident, a 15-year-old TikToker, identified as Junaid Khaskheli, was allegedly raped and killed by strangulation by unidentified perpetrators outside his village of Bajar Khan Talpur in Tando Muhammad Khan district on Monday, according to the Shaikh Bhirkio Police.

In response to the incident, Hyderabad DIG Tariq Razzak Dharejo has taken notice, and SSP Tando Muhammad Khan district, Syed Saleem Shah, has formed a dedicated police investigation team to delve into the matter and apprehend the suspects. Shah personally met with Sultan Khaskheli, the grieving father of the deceased boy, assuring him that the culprits responsible for this heinous crime will be brought to justice.

Sultan Khaskheli shared with local media that his family and his late son had no known enemies, emphasizing that his son, a TikToker, rarely ventured outside the village.

The victim, Junaid Khaskheli’s body was transported to the district headquarters hospital, where medico-legal professionals conducted a postmortem examination. Furthermore, they collected DNA and samples of bodily fluids for additional testing.

As of now, the police have not yet filed the First Information Report (FIR) for the incident. This tragic event follows a similar case in September of this year, where another minor TikToker named Zubair Shah was allegedly raped in Dadu district. In that instance, the police arrested the alleged rapists who had also circulated objectionable videos on social media.
