MULTAN Nov 15 (TNS): Mufti Abdul Qavi, who is on trial in Qandeel Baloch murder case, said on Wednesday that he, will make suggestions for improving the conditions of prisons.

“During my detention, I saw problems in jails up-close,” he said during a media talk here, adding that he will extend maximum cooperation to the families of the prisoners if they contact him.

About the murder case, Qavi said that the entire thing is in front of everyone and alleged that failed attempts are being made to twist the case.

He said that everything will become clear once the charge-sheet in the case is submitted.

Sessions court on Tuesday granted bail to Mufti Abdul Qavi, a suspect in the murder of social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch, a day after his judicial remand was extended.

On October 18, Judicial Magistrate Mohammad Pervez issued non-bailable warrants for Qavi after investigation officer Noor Akbar requested the court to do so on the grounds that the cleric is not cooperating with the police.

The cleric was later arrested after reportedly attempting to escape.

After being arrested, Qavi complained of chest pain and was admitted to a hospital. He also underwent angiography in the following days and was discharged later.
