A father allegedly murdered his own daughter after she refused to delete her TikTok account, according to police in Pakistan.

The horrifying incident took place on Tuesday, July 8, when the father instructed his daughter to remove her account from the platform.

In an article by People, with information from AFP, police reports revealed that investigators believed the father took his daughter’s life “for honor.”

A police official stated, “The girl’s father had asked her to delete her TikTok account. On refusal, he killed her.”

He was arrested shortly after the incident.

A police spokesperson said, “The girl’s father had asked her to delete her TikTok account. On refusal, he killed her.”

According to police in Rawalpindi, where the shooting occurred, the 16-year-old’s family initially tried to make it appear as though the murder was a su!cide, as reported by CBS News.

Human Rights Watch states that around 1,000 women are killed each year in Pakistan due to honor killings, which usually occur when a woman's actions are seen as going against traditional expectations, leading to severe punishment from their own family members.

In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
