Mufti Abuld Qawi to undergo angiography today
Court has handed over Mufti to police on 4-day judicial remand.
MULTAN (Dunya News)- Mufti Abdul Qavi will undergo angiography at Multan’s Cardiology hospital today.
After angiography reports, doctors would decide whether to extend Mufti’s stay in hospital or not.
Court has handed over Mufti to police on 4-day judicial remand in Qandeel Baloch Murder case. Soon after rejection of bail plea, Qavi tried to abscond but was caught by police.
Superintendent in Police Cantt (SP) Dr Fahad told that Mufti Qavi was taken into custody while travelling to Jhang near Muzaffargarh. He said that the religious cleric has been shifted to undisclosed location for interrogation.
Model Qandeel Baloch, who shot to fame for her provocative selfies, was strangled in July last year by her brother Muhammad Waseem. He said she had brought shame on the family and confessed to his crime in a press conference after his arrest.
Qandeel was social media sensation who also posed for selfies with Mufti Abdul Qavi in an incident that saw him swiftly rebuked by the religious affairs ministry.
Her murder reignited calls for action against so-called "honour killings", in which a victim is killed by a close relative -- who could subsequently be pardoned by another family member under Pakistan law.
In October parliament passed a law aimed at removing the ability to forgive "honour" killers. But critics contend some loopholes still exist.
