Father alleges Qandeel Baloch was killed on Mufti Qavi’s orders

Social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch’s father has said that his daughter was killed for Mufti Abdul Qavi’s vice.

During hearing at the Mulatan District and Sessions court, Muhammad Azeem alleged that Qandeel Baloch was killed on Mufti Abdul Qavi’s orders, Express News reported.

The self-proclaimed actress and model Qandeel Baloch was strangled by her own brother Waseem and a cousin in the name of honour in July last year. Waseem had later confessed to his crime before the police and the media.

The father further alleged that Mufti Abdul Qavi had offered him [Azeem] money to not drop charges against him.

“I will never forgive Mufti Abdul Qavi and want her [Baloch’s] murderers to be brought to justice,” he said.

Former member of the moon-sighting committee Mufti Abdul Qavi was arrested last week after a court rejected extension in his pre-arrest bail.

The police had included Qavi’s name as a suspect in the case at the request of Qandeel’s father, Muhammad Azeem, who in a statement before the police suspected the cleric’s possible role in the murder that took place weeks after Qandeel posted her selfies and videos with Qavi on social media.
