Dive deep into the shocking Qandeel Baloch murder case, a landmark honour killing that exposed the complex struggles for digital freedom in Pakistan. In this gripping true crime podcast episode, we explore the life and tragic death of Pakistan's controversial social media star, Qandeel Baloch, whose defiance of conservative norms ultimately cost her life.

Uncover the details of her murder by her own brother, Waseem Azeem, and the intense media frenzy and public debate that followed. We examine how Qandeel used her online platform to challenge societal patriarchy, provoke traditional mindsets, and advocate for women's independence, becoming both an icon and a target.

This episode provides a comprehensive look at the Qandeel Baloch case investigation, the judicial proceedings (including Waseem's confession and subsequent acquittal), and the lasting impact on honour killing laws in Pakistan. Discover the broader implications of her story for women's rights, online expression, and the ongoing fight against gender-based violence in the region.
