Due to the severity of her injuries, she was later moved to Shifa International Hospital, where doctors were unable to save her life.
Authorities arrived promptly at the scene, sealing off the area and initiating a detailed investigation.

As with Baloch’s case, Sana Yousaf death has sparked concern over the ongoing threats faced by outspoken or visible women online in a society where such presence is often met with hostility.
