    Man murders girlfriend’s groom-to-be to stop wedding

    Two suspects have been arrested in Pattoki for allegedly murdering a groom-to-be in an attempt to stop his wedding, police said on Thursday.

    According to Saddar Police Station officials, the suspects, Azhar Manzoor and Sajid, were captured after a specialized police team used modern technology to track them down and verify their involvement in the crime.

    Investigators revealed that the suspects shot 25-year-old Umar Shehzad dead on the rooftop of his home seven days before his wedding, while he was spending time there ahead of the ceremony.

    ‘Remorseless’ father kills son for befriending transgender community

    A father from Karachi killed his 21-year-old son in Orangi Town after discovering his friendship within the transgender community.

    The officer told a private news channel that the victim was attacked on Wednesday with a shovel inside the family’s home.

    According to the SHO, the father admitted to investigators he was upset over his son’s frequent meetings with people from the transgender community and had warned him several times to stay away.

    Despite repeated warnings, the son continued to visit his friends, which allegedly led to the violent incident.

    The body was shifted to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for legal and medical procedures.

  • Another TikToker lands in trouble; Kashif Zameer arrested from Lahore

    Another TikToker lands in trouble; Kashif Zameer arrested from Lahore

    The Crime Control Department (CCD) of Lahore Police on Wednesday arrested TikTok influencer Kashif Zameer along with 13 of his security guards for openly displaying weapons in public.

    Police officials have confirmed to media outlets that CCD personnel carried out a raid in Iqbal Town and recovered firearms from Kashif Zameer and his guards. Multiple cases have been registered against him at the CCD police station.

    Videos of Kashif Zameer moving around the city with heavily armed guards had recently gone viral on social media. The clips showed him and his guards brandishing guns in public places.

    His arrest comes at a time when Punjab has tightened security for the holy month of Muharram-ul-Haram. The provincial government has enforced Section 144 from June 27 to July 6, 2025, banning the public display of weapons and flammable materials without official permission.

    Under these security measures, pillion riding has also been banned during this period. However, women, senior citizens, and law enforcement officials are exempt from this restriction.

    This is not the first time Kashif Zameer has landed in legal trouble. He has faced charges in fraud cases before and was also arrested in April 2025 for disrespecting the Punjab Police.

    In that case, a TikTok video showed Zameer handing a tray of money to a man wearing a police uniform at a wedding. The man was later identified as driver constable Khurram Shahzad. When police booked Shahzad, Zameer tried to defend him by posting another video where the uniform was digitally replaced with a plain black shalwar kameez using artificial intelligence. Zameer claimed the police uniform had been edited into the original footage.

    However, during investigation, Shahzad admitted he was indeed wearing the police uniform at the wedding. Both Zameer and Shahzad were accused of disrespecting the police and spreading false information by using AI. Charges were filed under PECA’s electronic forgery and spoofing laws, along with sections of the Pakistan Penal Code. The Punjab Prosecutor General declared the case “high profile” and ordered further inquiry into the matter.

    Zameer insisted in a video that the man in the footage was actually his personal guard, not a police officer. He claimed his “enemies” used AI to edit the video, stressing that he respects the Punjab Police.

    Two children die from food poisoning after eating fast food

    Two young daughters of kabaddi player Naveed Pahlwan died on Monday in Gujranwala’s Eminabad area after consuming fast food from a market. Three other children and their parents remain in critical condition.

    A leading English newspaper quoted Pahlwan as saying that the family had ordered food during a birthday celebration.

    “The family, including me, my wife, and five children, was taken to the hospital after feeling sick,” he said, adding that two of the children, an eight-year-old and a four-year-old, passed away, while two others are in critical condition.

    The Punjab Food Authority (PFA) sealed the suspected food outlets after the incident, according to an official notification issued on Monday.

    “On the directions of Punjab Food Authority Director General Muhammad Asim Javaid, food safety teams conducted a crackdown in Eminabad following the alleged death of two minor girls due to toxic food,” the statement read.

    The operation was carried out after the family identified the food vendors. “During the raid, two food outlets were sealed and various food samples, including cake, cream, red chilli powder, cooking oil, and chicken, were collected and sent to the laboratory for analysis,” it added.

    The PFA spokesperson said further action would be taken once laboratory results were available. “[The] initial medical findings revealed the children had been unwell for several days and were already under treatment. Meanwhile, [the] case is also under police investigation,” the statement added, quoting the spokesperson.

    PFA DG Javaid stated that any food outlets found responsible for compromising public health would face strict action under food safety laws.

    In April, approximately 1,500 people were affected by food poisoning in a similar incident in Dhoong village, Gujar Khan, though the cause remained unknown.

    Three individuals have been taken into custody for allegedly participating in a high-profile armed robbery that resulted in the theft of over Rs130 million in cash and valuables from a home in Karachi’s PECHS Block 2.

    The suspects, two sisters and a brother, are known TikTok personalities.

    According to police, the trio posed as Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials to carry out the heist, which occurred in the early hours of June 26.

    Muhammad Saalik was ambushed outside his residence on Khalid Bin Waleed Road at around 3:30 AM while parking his car, said Ferozabad SHO Inam Junejo.

    Two armed men and three burqa-clad women emerged from a black vehicle, held Saalik at gunpoint, and forced him inside the house.

    Police stated that one of the suspects wore an FIA-style uniform with the agency’s logo to appear legitimate.

    The robbers made off with over Rs130 million in cash, nine smartphones (including iPhones and Google Pixels), twenty luxury watches, a smartwatch, twenty-five branded perfumes, two laptops, and other valuables.

    Three suspects, Yousra, Nimra, and their brother Shehryar, were identified and apprehended using CCTV footage and modern technology. A fourth suspect, Shahroz, remains at large.

    Investigative sources revealed that Yousra Zeb is a popular TikTok personality who has modelled for several Pakistani brands. Her social media features photos with both local and international celebrities.

    Police are also investigating Yousra’s possible involvement in other robberies linked to the same gang. According to the Jamshed Division SP, the suspects deceived the victim by wearing fake FIA uniforms during the crime.

    According to a police official, “The suspects were identified through their social media presence and TikTok videos,” adding that, “Efforts are underway to recover the stolen money and valuables, and raids are being conducted to arrest the remaining accomplices.”
