According to police, Sidra, a native of Renala Khurd Okara in Punjab province was modelling for a local clothing brand and danced in theatres of Faisalabad city against the wishes of her family. 

Parents of Sidra forced her to quit dancing and modelling as it was against their family tradition but she continued, police said.
