Police have begun looking into a death threat against Mariyam Sama Shareef, a popular local TikTok star, which was made during a TikTok live.

A police spokesperson said on Thursday that the police have become aware of a death threat made against a woman on TikTok.

“We are looking into this,” said the police.

While the police did not provide any details, Sama shared a recording of the live stream via her Facebook account on Wednesday afternoon.

In the live stream, a female TikTok user ‘Asley’ threatens to cut Sama’s throat.
