Prior to her murder, Qandeel, whose real name was Fauzia Azeem, revealed that she was worried about her safety. She even appealed to the interior ministry to provide her security. Qandeel also accused Qavi of inappropriate behavior. “I thought I would expose him as he is in reality,” she told AFP at the time, adding, “He is a different person alone and different when he has his followers around him”.

After her killing, Baloch’s brother Muhammad Waseem and cousin Haq Nawaz had claimed responsibility of the murder that they committed in the name of ‘honour’.
