Police Arrested Pakistan selfie star Qandeel Baloch's murderer
News24xx.com - Pakistani police say a Muslim cleric has been arrested over the murder of social media star Qandeel Baloch.
Ms Baloch, whose real name was Fauzia Azeem, was found strangled in her home in the city of Multan last year after posting racy images of herself on Facebook.
Her brother, Muhammad Waseem, has confessed to strangling her after giving her a "tablet" to subdue her.
A senior police officer, Mohammad Fahad, said the cleric - Mufti Abdul Qavi - was arrested as he tried to leave Multan.
Some of his phone calls were traced to another brother of Ms Baloch around the time of her killing, police said.
Prosecutors have been urging the court to indict Qavi, who appeared in a video with Ms Baloch in which she claimed they smoked cigarettes and drank soft drinks during daylight hours in Ramadan, when practising Muslims fast.
He was sacked from his position on a government committee and rebuked by a religious affairs council.
Ms Baloch became famous in Pakistan in 2014 after video of her pouting into a camera and asking "how em looking?" went viral.
She was also reported to be about to appear in a series of Big Boss, India's version of Big Brother, and appeared twerking in a music video with singer Aryan Khan.
Her murder reignited calls for action against so-called "honour killings" - in which a victim is killed by a close relative who can subsequently be pardoned by another family member under Pakistan law.*
