Welcome to Welted Marigold with your storyteller Ambica , where we delve into the dark and mysterious true crime stories from South Asia and beyond. Tonight, we investigate the profoundly tragic and shocking Sana Yusf murder case.
Sana Yusf, a vibrant 17-year-old digital leader from Islamabad, was a one-woman industry who commanded over a million adoring followers across platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Her content was simple, but her mere presence—a young single woman speaking directly to the world—was, in the society she lived in, an act of rebellion and a testament to her autonomy.
Her fame, however, drew the toxic obsession of Omar Hayat, known by the nickname 'Kaka.' This is the story of how a digital admirer's unchecked desire morphed into a deadly obsession. We track Hayat's chilling escalation, from persistent online demands to eight hours of real-world surveillance outside Sana's home, establishing a routine for a terrifying invasion.
On June 2nd, 2025, the fantasy Hayat had built in his mind shattered against Sana's firm, unequivocal rejection. The episode uncovers the terrifying final confrontation, armed with a pistol, and the motive rooted not in love, but in a lethal sense of entitlement. Hayat believed a woman who had dared to achieve such visibility and then dared to say 'No' had committed an unforgivable offense.
Join us as we analyze this horrifying trend in a society grappling with a clash between tradition and modernity. Sana Yusf's final story is a brutal reminder that the ultimate price for female visibility in the age of the influencer is still often paid in blood.
