Expanding the scope of investigation in the Qandeel Baloch murder case, the police on Friday sent a questionnaire to Mufti Abdul Qavi.
In the questionnaire, the police have asked Mufti Qavi about his last meeting and telephonic conversation with the victim.
On July 16, Qandeel Baloch was strangled to death by her brother after she became embroiled in a public scandal when she posted selfies with Mufti Adbul Qavi, a prominent cleric, in a Karachi hotel room during the holy month of Ramzan.
In one picture, Baloch was wearing the cleric’s trademark fur-lined hat.
Qavi had maintained that he had only met with her to discuss the teachings of Islam. But the government suspended Qavi and removed him from the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee.
In the wake of that scandal, Baloch said she had received death threats and asked the Interior Ministry for protection.
Earlier on Thursday, the victim’s mother revealed that her son strangled his sister after being taunted by his friends over her behaviour.
