Before the hype from his alleged marriage to Hareem Shah died down, infamous religious scholar Mufti Abdul Qavi is back in the spotlight again. He now claims that the Pakistan-based US filmmaker Cynthia Ritchie had requested a meeting with him several times but he refused.
MMNews reports that Mufti Qavi told a local newspaper that Cynthia had requested an interview with the religious leader many times, but he had refused.
However, his reasons for not meeting up with Cynthia Ritchie is the scandalous part. He states that he could not meet the American blogger because he was being investigated in the Qandeel Baloch murder case.
“I was afraid to meet her because I was involved in the investigation of the Qandeel Baloch case.”

He further claimed that few politicians from South Punjab were also friends of Cynthia Ritchie.
“During the Qandil Baloch case, Cynthia had asked me several times for an interview, but since I already knew about her, I refused to do so.”
The religious clergyman was one of five suspects in the 2016 murder case of the ‘Kim Kardashian of Pakistan’ Qandeel Baloch. However, he was granted bail later by a court in Multan.
He is no stranger to controversy. Recently it was rumored that he had married, or planned to get hitched with Pakistani TikToker Hareem Shah. It was assumed that Hareem was quitting TikTok to marry the religious leader.
Previously the two had met in Canada where the religious leader had fled to since the Qandeel Baloch case. Hareem Shah had also fled to Canada for asylum after political scandals of her own.
Later the two got together in a tell-all and Hareem Shah denounced the possibility of their ‘marriage’ ever happening.
