KARACHI: The Sindh High Court has extended the hearing of the petition filed against former SSP Malir Rao Anwar’s bail in the Naqeebullah Mehsud murder case till 13th February.
In the petition, petitioner Faisal Siddiqui pleaded the court to cancel the bail of Rao Anwar as he was involved in threatening the society by innocent in fake encounters.
Earlier, his plea was also rejected by the Supreme Court in which he sought permission of his name from the Exit Control List (ECL).
Deceased Naqeebullah Mehsud was among the four suspects that were killed in an encounter with a police team headed by former SSP Anwar in the Usman Khaskheli Goth on the outskirts of Karachi in 2018.
Anwar had stuck to the claim that the deceased was a Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militant but a spokesperson of the outlawed TTP’s South Waziristan chapter had termed Anwar’s claim as baseless, clarifying that Naqeebullah had no links with the banned militant outfit.
