Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against two brothers of Qandeel Baloch.
The FIR was launched on the complaint of Qandeel’s father Azeem, who nominated his two sons Aslam Shaheen and Waseem as main suspects in the case.
Police registered the case under Sections 302 and 109 of the Pakistan Penal Code which deal with “punishment for willful murder”.
It is alleged that Aslam provoked Waseem to kill Qandeel as she reportedly “brought disrepute to the family” and warned her to stop posting photos and videos on Facebook.
The popular social media celebrity’s murder is the latest in the spate of “honour killings” that has plague the country.
Police added that Qandeel was in Multan for one week and the forensic experts are examining her corpse to find whether she was poisoned or not.
The initial post-mortem reports, however, confirm that Qandeel was strangled to death. No marks of torture were found on her body.
