A man who recently moved his family back to south-western Pakistan from the United States shot and killed his teenage daughter in a so-called honour killing after she allegedly refused to stop sharing videos on TikTok that he believed were inappropriate, police said on Thursday.

The shooting happened on Tuesday in Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province, said Babar Baloch, a local police chief.
