Sana Yousaf was a popular Pakistani digital creator who was murdered last year on June 2nd in Islamabad. Sana Yousaf was allegedly shot dead by her acquaintance Umer Hayat, who came to Islamabad at rental car, entered her house, and shot her in front of her phupho and mother. Sana Yousaf was declared dead when she was taken to the hospital. She was later buried in her family graveyard in Hunza.

It has been almost a year since her alleged murderer Umer Hayat was arrested, and he had earlier admitted to killing her. However, after a year, the accused has now withdrawn his statement and denied killing Sana Yousaf.

In the Islamabad court, the culprit recorded his statement under Section 342. Umer Hayat said that he is 23 years old and did not rent or take any car, adding that the rental car documents were fake. He further stated that he didn’t come to Islamabad, didn’t meet Sana Yousaf, and has never been to her residence at G-13. He also claimed that no videos or footage of the incident are available and that he has nothing to do with whatever happened to Sana Yousaf.

He added, “I was arrested on the base of suspicion. I never went to the location, nothing is on record, her mobile phone was not stolen, I was never in contact with her, we had no fight, and Sana Yousaf’s parents have dragged me into a false case. Upon reaching the police station I came to know that I murdered her” Watch here:
Social media users are saying that it was an evident open-and-shut case which should have been concluded within a month because all the evidence was already there, but in Pakistan it is impossible to get justice. Another wrote, “I thought he would have been awarded the death sentence by now.” Many are demanding justice for Sana Yousaf. Read comments.
