A 21-year-old Tik-Tok star was found murdered in a bed at her salon in TDI Kundli in Sonepat district on Sunday.

The woman, Shiwani, was allegedly murdered by a close friend after she stopped speaking to him.

Shiwani’s father, Vinod, in his complaint to the Kundli police, said that she was friends with a man, Arif, since the past four to five years. Shiwani had stopped talking to him 15 days ago.

“She told us that Arif was harassing her and that’s why she had stopped talking to him,” he said.

He alleged that Arif murdered his daughter due to “a one-sided affair.”

Inspector Ravi Kumar, SHO Kundli, said a case was registered against Arif for murder.

“Prima facie it seemed that the accused had murdered the woman by strangulating her,” he said.

It seemed that the accused was possessive about her and killed her in an attempt to take revenge after she stopped talking to him, the SHO added.  

Teams are trying to nab the accused, who has not been arrested so far, the SHO maintained.

The deceased had a large number of followers on Tik-Tok and she used to live with her family in a rented accommodation at Kundli of Sonepat district. The woman’s father said his daughters, Shweta and Shiwani, used to run a salon in a flat in TDI Kundli.
