She was a great Sindhi artist, and during her performance at the wedding, a guest named Tariq Jatoi asked her to stand up and dance with him. The media reported that when 24-year-old pregnant Samoon rejected Jatoi’s request, he pulled out his gun and shot her dead.

She was taken to Chandka Medical College Hospital but was declared dead on arrival.

The full incident was captured on camera, and later, the video was shared by Islamabad-based human rights activist Kapil Dev on social media handles.

Her husband, Ashiq Ali has demanded an FIR against the culprit with a double homicide for killing his wife and unborn child. Ali stated, “Samina declined to dance because she was pregnant, her refusal enraged the accused who then killed her.”
