SUKKUR: 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.
