Baloch built up a large social media fanbase, with 40,000 Twitter followers and more than 700,000 followers on her official Facebook page. She cultivated an outrageous public persona, recently promising to perform a public striptease if the Pakistani cricket team won a major tournament. Baloch danced in a racy (again by Pakistani standards) video for a popular rap song that immediately went viral. In the wake of that scandal, Baloch said she had received death threats and asked for Interior Ministry protection. Multan police chief Akram Azhar said police were searching for the brother, identified by the family as Waseem Azeem, who runs a local cellular phone shop.
