Baloch, who became famous through her tireless self-promotion and suggestive “selfies” posted on social media, had earned thousands of followers. She had also been frequently posting semi-nude selfies on social media sites. Though she was criticized by many and frequently subject to misogynist abuse online, Baloch had also won praise by some of the country’s youth for her forthright attitude.

In one of her last Facebook posts, Qandeel reiterated her unapologetic approach saying, “No matter how many times I will be pushed down under… I am a fighter, I will bounce back.”

Baloch, who has often been compared to reality TV star Kim Kardashian, had reportedly been getting death threats and had sought security from the interior ministry but received no response. She was reportedly planning to settle down abroad and said in an interview that “I know I will not be provided security and I am not feeling secured here so have decided to move abroad with my parents after Eidul Fitr.”

While earlier reports suggested that Qandeel was shot by her brother, police have now confirmed she was “strangled to death” at her Multan residence.

“Qandeel Baloch has been killed, she was strangled to death by her brother, apparently, it was an incident of honour killing,” Sultan Azam, the senior police officer said, adding that Qandeel was in Multan for one week and that forensic experts are examining the corpse to prepare a medical report.

Qandeel Baloch has been murdered 3 days after her three marriages which were kept secret until then were revealed.

Thankfully, everyone on Twitter is not retarded

During the World T20 tournament, Baloch had made news for promising to strip for Shahid Afridi if Pakistan beat India (which they didn’t).
