A significant development has been reported in the ongoing TikToker Sana Yousaf murder case, as statements from two key witnesses were officially recorded during the latest court proceedings in Islamabad.
According to details, Dr. Harpal Kumar and Dr. Amna appeared before the District and Sessions Court Islamabad, where their statements were presented before Additional District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka. Both witnesses, who are doctors by profession, provided crucial testimonies that may prove pivotal in the prosecution’s case.
During the hearing, Prosecutor Raja Naveed Hussain informed the court that both witnesses maintain demanding professional schedules. He urged the defense team to complete their cross-examination on the same day to prevent unnecessary delays. The prosecutor also accused the defense of deliberately stalling the proceedings and requested the court to issue directions for timely completion of the process.
In response, the court instructed the defense counsel to conclude the cross-examination of the witnesses at the next hearing. The case has now been adjourned until October 18, when further proceedings are expected to take place.
The tragic murder of 17-year-old TikToker Sana Yousaf has garnered nationwide attention. Sana was reportedly shot dead at her home by a young man who allegedly wanted to befriend her. The incident sparked outrage on social media, reigniting public debate around digital safety, harassment, and the vulnerability of young content creators.
Earlier, Sana Yousaf’s father had appealed for a speedy trial, expressing frustration over repeated delays in the case’s progress. With the new witness testimonies recorded, the investigation appears to be moving toward a more conclusive stage, raising hopes for justice in what has become one of Pakistan’s most closely followed social media-related crime cases.
Observers believe that the testimonies from medical professionals could strengthen the prosecution’s stance, potentially shaping the outcome of the trial as it continues in the coming weeks.
