Azeem Mahara, father of late internet celebrity Qandeel Baloch has submitted a plea in court seeking the return of the model’s seized assets.
The victim’s father has contacted the court for the return of her things that were confiscated on the day of her murder.
Muzzafarabad police had also taken a bag having jewellery, national and international currency into custody as evidence in the investigation.
Earlier, police had received reports of polygraph tests of key criminals in Qandeel Baloch murder case Waseem and Haq Nawaz matched their statements during interrogations.
Teams have been directed to take Mufti Abdul Qawi, suspended a member of Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, in custody after he was nominated in the case.
Superintendent of Police Multan Cantonment area, Saifullah Khan Khattak had also said that the pictures Baloch clicked with the clergyman in Karachi led to her death.
He further said that the police could not hand him a clean chit until investigations were completed.
The murdered social media personality met Qawi around two months before she was killed by her younger brother for ‘honour’ on July 16 in Multan.
Mufti, on the other hand, said that it was unfair to accuse him after Waseem, the key criminal had confessed to the crime and named co-conspirators.
He has claimed innocence ever since he was contacted by police right after Baloch’s murder.
This is not the first time Qawi, as he puts it, being dragged into the case as police had dispatched a questionnaire to him earlier asking several questions the department deemed right for investigation.
The cleric provided Multan police with the answers required in which he claimed that he met Baloch once in Karachi and that was it.
Waseem, during a polygraph test last month in Lahore, stated that Haq Nawaz, his cousin strangled the Facebook celebrity while he grabbed her arms.
He also revealed that his elder brother who resides in Saudi Arabia telephoned the family after Baloch’s pictures with the clergyman and taunted him of being a mere spectator when their sister was being ‘ridiculed’ in the society.
