Maha Shah was found in her room under suspicious circumstances
Social media influencers have become an integral part of many people’s lives, with these influencers yielding a lot of power on their fans and followers. Anything that goes on in the lives of influencers is examined, talked about, debated and dissected a lot by people on social media. This is exactly what’s happening with one Instagram star who recently passed away.
Maha Shah, an Instagram influencer from Karachi, has passed away as a result of what authorities are labeling as a suicide attempt
According to reports, Maha, who also happens to be a doctor, locked herself in the washroom and committed suicide by shooting towards her head. It is also being said that the doctor was suffering from some domestic issues and also had a verbal disagreement with her father before she ended her life in a tragic manner.
While revealing the details about the case, the hospital administration has said, ” her brain cells were damaged in the incident as the bullet pierced through her head.”
As soon as the details of the death were shared, people on the social media called for an investigation into the details of the passing of Maha Shah
This should be investigated !

They claimed that the social media influencer was shot in the back of her head which can’t happen in the case of a suicide
She didn't committed suicide this is clear that she was shooted on the back of her head.
How can she do it herself?
This is a murder.#mahashah https://t.co/iL3fKPZWX8— Akash Mehdi (@AkashMehdi1) August 20, 2020
A few claimed that there’s some room for suspiciousness as the body of Maha Shah was rushed to burial

A lot of the people also highlighted the importance of discussion around mental health and implied that the Instagrammer suffered from depression
The shit of depression is getting deeper. Please explore mental wellbeing, check for assistance. Please know you are not alone, try reaching your friends.
Please please please be mindful. #mahashah— Muskan Sheikh (@SheikhMuskan101) August 19, 2020
#depression is a disease we can cure it. Instead of suicide we should find a way to get rid of it.
We heard from the binging of our life that life is not a bed of roses it's a saying for some reason.#MahaShah pic.twitter.com/UGKy7eTNeO— aTahira (@Atahira_) August 19, 2020
It is, however, being asserted by the majority that the details regarding the case are deliberately not being shared and this case should be treated as a murder case
They even went on to share some personal details about the life of social media influencers. They claimed that the father allehedly did not want to own his daughter and the fiancé was allegedly an aggressive person who physically assaulted her.
I donât think if itâs suicide she would be shooting at back of her head. Seems like father doesnât want to own the daughter and apparently the fiancĂ© was some aggressive person who used to beat her. @sindhpolicedmc should treat this case as murder case #MahaShah https://t.co/HcMlITSQWA

Police have not issued an official statement regarding the matter and the hospital officials have only talked about the damage which was done to the body as a result of the shooting. The matter requires the immediate attention of the law enforcement agencies and the justice should be served.
