Baloch's brother Wasim told media he drugged and strangled his sister as she had violated their family's honour with her social media posts, including a series of selfies with cleric Abdul Qavi last month.
According to a new development, police said that Aslam Shaheen, Baloch's another brother, who was said to have been nominated in the FIR, was not involved in her murder.
