'Qandeel Baloch was a disgrace, her brother did well': Shocking Twitter reactions to her death

Pakistan’s social media star Qandeel Baloch  was killed in Multan today.The area’s RPO told The Express Tribune, ‘Baloch was killed by her brother over honour in Muzaffarabad’s Green Town area." Baloch had not disclosed her location due to the security threats, the official added.

The 26-year-old model-actor had earlier claimed that she was receiving death threats and had sought security. However, following ‘no response’ from the interior ministry on her application for getting personal security, the social media starlet was planning to settle down abroad after Eidul Fitr, citing security threats in the backdrop of her recent scandal with Mufti Abdul Qawi as the reason. ‘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,’ Qandeel said earlier. Qandeel had recently taken the internet by storm as she shared a couple of selfies and a video of herself with Mufti Qawi, a former member of the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee. Some days back she starred in a Pakistani music video, ‘Ban,’ by Aryan Khan featuring twerks, a slashed bodysuit and lots of laces.
 

Here's how Twitter reacted. While some of the reactions are those of shock, others claimed that she was 'disgrace' and had it coming for her life choices. 

Some of the disgusting reactions to Baloch's death:

When she was alive you all used to hate her, abuse her and now she's dead, you all are showing your fake sympathy. Double standards?

They will kill #QandeelBaloch for bringing bad name to Pakistani society. But will keep honoring Hafiz Saeed as if he brings Olympic medals.

Qandeel Baloch killed by her brother.
Over the family's honor.
I'm sure the family's honor is now saved by having a murderer in the house.

Media houses should stop saying 'ghairat kay naam' say it was his huge fragile male ego #QandeelBaloch #Pakistan

— Ayesha Tammy Haq (@tammyhaq) July 16, 2016

Media who published her husband and son's pics - are also responsible for her killing. You have also provoked her murder #QandeelBaloch

Have you ever heard of a sister murder her brother over his beghairati? No? Thought so. Not about honor, but patriarchy! #Qandeelbaloch

She didn't conform to the norm, outspoken& unapologetic, silenced 4 ever. Shocked & saddened at #QandeelBaloch's murder

Dear Media, there is no such thing as 'Ghairat kay naam pay Qatal'. Even the sentence is derogatory. #QandeelBaloch
