MULTAN: The polygraph and DNA tests of the suspect in the Qandeel Baloch murder case were conducted at a forensic lab in Lahore on Friday.

The police official heading the investigation team took suspect Muhammad Waseem, brother of the victim, to Lahore. The result of the polygraph (lie detector) test is expected on Monday, while that of DNA may take some days.

Police on July 20 obtained five-day physical remand of Waseem who had confessed, before the judicial magistrate on July 19.

Meanwhile, acting SP, Investigation, Ali Mardan said police would interrogate Mufti Abdul Qavi regarding the case next week.

He said police investigation so far suggested that Aslam Shaheen, another brother of Qandeel who was initially nominated in the FIR by the family, was not involved in the case.
