He dispelled all allegations leveled against him in Qandeel Baloch case and said that all allegations were baseless and against the ground realities. “I am present at my house-cum-seminary and police can investigate me”, he added. He said that police had given him a questionnaire carrying 14 questions a couple of days ago and he had submitted all answers.
