TikToker Shamsoo Bibi Killed in Taxila Firing Incident
A popular TikTok personality, Shamsoo Bibi, also known publicly as Ayesha Gulmana, was shot dead in Taxila, Punjab, in a violent incident that has drawn public attention because of her social media profile and the circumstances described in the police complaint. The killing was reported on Sunday after the victim was allegedly attacked by an unidentified armed person.
According to the details cited in the report, a murder case has been registered at Taxila Police Station on the complaint of the victim’s father. The case includes sections related to murder, attempted murder and assisting in the commission of the offence, indicating that police are treating the matter as a serious criminal attack involving more than one possible suspect or facilitator.
The FIR states that Shamsoo Bibi had received a phone call from a man identified as Kashif before she left home with her brother and sister. Her father later received information that his daughter had been shot, after which he reached THQ Hospital Taxila and identified her body.
The incident also left two members of the victim’s family injured. The report says her sister and brother were hurt during the attack, adding another layer of urgency to the investigation as police attempt to reconstruct the sequence of events from the time she left home until the shooting took place.
According to the FIR account, the victim’s son told police that the shots were fired by a man riding as a pillion passenger on a motorcycle. After the firing, Shamsoo Bibi suffered a bullet wound to the neck, while the vehicle reportedly went out of control and crashed into a dumper.
The victim’s brother told investigators that he would be able to identify the suspects if they were brought before him. That statement could become important for the investigation, particularly if police trace the motorcycle, the caller, or any persons believed to have followed or intercepted the vehicle.
The killing has renewed attention on the safety of social media creators in Pakistan, especially women who build public profiles online and may face harassment, threats or targeted violence. While police have not yet announced a confirmed motive, the nature of the attack and the mention of a prior phone call are likely to remain central points in the inquiry.
Taxila and nearby Rawalpindi district have seen several high-profile criminal cases in recent years, ranging from domestic disputes to targeted attacks and violent street crimes. In cases involving public figures or online personalities, investigators often examine phone records, social media activity and personal contacts to identify possible leads.
For the public, the case is likely to become a viral and closely watched story because it combines a fatal shooting, a known social media figure and unanswered questions about motive. Police have launched an investigation, and the next major development will depend on whether suspects are identified, arrested and formally linked to the FIR through evidence and witness statements.
