KARACHI: In what appears to be a case of personal enmity, four TikTokers including Muskan Shaikh and Amir Khan were shot dead in Karachi's Garden area near Anklesaria Hospital, police said on Tuesday.

According to police, they were travelling in a car when unknown men opened fire at them killing Amir and Muskhan on the spot, while their friends Saddam Hussain and Syed Rehan Shah succumbed to their injuries while they were being taken to the hospital.

SP City Sarfaraz Nawaz told media that this appears to a case of personal enmity as they were chased and killed by the gunmen. "The lady and two men were TikTok stars."

"The police could not confirm the number of attackers because there were no witnesses. The investigations are underway to ascertain the facts," he said.

The SP said that the police were trying to obtain footage from the nearby CCTV cameras, adding that the authorities had recovered nine shells of 9mm pistol from the crime scene.

Police sources said that all of the deceased were Tikokers. They had left in the wee hours on Tuesday after Muskan and Amir recorded a TikTok video at Saddam Hussain's house.
