The suspect then shared the fake video on social media to humiliate his rival.

When the female TikToker confronted Zain over the issue, he allegedly used abusive language against her and threatened to kill her.

On the complaint by the woman, the police arrested Zain and started investigation into the matter. His accomplice is still at large.

Police sources say that the suspect confessed to have uploaded the video of his rival TikToker because of jealousy as her content was getting more views than his.

According to the prosecution, Arshad, a resident of Haroonabad’s village 55/4R, had married his cousin Tahira Parveen some 20 years ago and the couple had a son and two daughters.

It stated that the suspect had suspicions about his wife’s character and would frequently subject her to torture over the issue.

On the complaint of victim’s mother Shakeela, the Saddar Police registered a case under section 302 of the PPC and arrested the suspect.
