Two suspects held after TikToker found dead in her home

The Ghotki police on Friday detained two suspects after a TikToker, Samira Rajput, was found dead in her home and her daughter suspected that she might have been poisoned by the two men.

Samira, daughter of Sharif Rajput, had been living alone in her home, situated in the Bhotta Mohallah of Ghotki, since separation from her spouse, Ali Hassan Soomro, some time ago.

The detained suspects, Ali Rajput and Imran Rajput, had been frequenting Samira’s home during this period, according to her daughter, Saba.

Saba told the police and local reporters that both the suspects were interested in marrying her mother but she was not accepting proposal of any of them.

Saba told the police that she strongly believed either Ali or Imran might have poisoned her mother in frustration.

Meanwhile, the area police took Samira’s body into their custody and took it to the area’s taluka hospital for a post-mortem examination. They were interrogating the two suspects and also investigating the case from different angles.

On their part, the police believed that Samira had obtained divorce from Ali Hassan Soomro.

Tiktok is a great app in general however eventually google will kill it in the same way Instagram after copying stories killed Snapchat.

By killing i mean people will obviously use said platforms and they will remain as multi billion dollar valuation however the trend towards Snapchat obviously has died down.

Simply put YouTube pays more, has a 20+ year old history of videos, and has everything including streaming whole tiktok is incorporating more features but it is limited to shorts with tiktok live being nowhere close to YT or twitch.

The reason tiktok is a shorts pioneer is due to their killer algorithm. I admit that on YouTube I follow my subscriptions but it shows me irrelevant stuff.

Meanwhile tiktok somehow knows what short will be of my interest and what I actually want to watch.

However YouTube will eventually nail it down. YouTube pretty much ended the twitch attraction with twitch now being more a niche platform and even its top streamers such as Ninja and Pokimane dying down and fading into irrelevance.

In a few years, Google will end tiktok due to its search engines eventually improving its algorithm
