ISLAMABAD: A local court in the federal capital on Wednesday sentenced convicted killer Umar Hayat to two years in prison in a separate arms-related case linked to the murder of social media influencer Sana Yousaf.
The sentence was announced by Additional Sessions Judge Afzal Majoka under Section 13 of the Pakistan Arms Ordinance, along with a fine of Rs100,000. The court ruled that failure to pay the fine would result in an additional one-month imprisonment.
With the latest verdict, Hayat’s cumulative punishment has increased further, adding to a series of sentences handed down in multiple charges connected to the high-profile murder case. The total prison term now stands at approximately 23 years, while total fines amount to around Rs2.6 million, according to court proceedings.
The decision comes a day after the same court sentenced Hayat to death in the main murder case of Sana Yousaf and imposed a separate fine of Rs2 million.
In its detailed short order, the court also awarded multiple additional prison terms under various sections of the Pakistan Penal Code, including Section 392 (robbery), Section 499 (defamation-related provisions), and Section 411 (dishonestly receiving stolen property), with sentences ranging from one year to ten years along with financial penalties.
The court record shows that Hayat was handed a 10-year sentence and Rs200,000 fine under Section 392, another 10-year sentence with Rs200,000 fine under Section 499, and an additional one-year imprisonment with Rs100,000 fine under Section 411.
The cumulative sentences reflect multiple convictions arising from the investigation into the killing of 17-year-old Sana Yousaf, who was killed at her residence in Islamabad on June 2, 2025, just days after celebrating her 17th birthday.
Yousaf had built a significant social media following, including over a million followers across platforms such as TikTok, where she shared lifestyle content, lip-sync videos, skincare routines and promotional material for beauty brands.
The case has drawn widespread public attention due to the victim’s age, online presence, and the severity of the charges against the convicted individual, with multiple sentences now stacking alongside the recently issued death penalty ruling.
