“Qandeel’s neighbour in Shah Sadar Din recalls a night, perhaps during that visit, when Qandeel appeared at his house, sweating, panting. Her brother Arif, a pisto gripped tightly in his hand, was threatening to kill her. ‘I had no idea what had happened,’ he recalls. ‘Qandeel had come there with a driver and she took off. After she left the village, her parents had told us all she was working at some mill.’ She did not want to come back to Shah Sadar Din after that quarrel with her brother. She found this house in Multan and told her parents that she would meet them here once a year.”

“As Shah deftly steers the conversation, Anwar bibi and Azeem’s explanation for why Waseem killed Qandeel comes out muddled, a version that has been told, retold and then untold and erased over the last few months.”
