KARACHI: An anti-terrorism court in Karachi on Monday directed witnesses in the Naqeebullah Mehsud case, an aspiring model killed in an allegedly fake encounter in January 2018, to appear before the court on Feb 13. During today’s proceedings, former Malir SSP Rao Anwar and others accused in the case were presented before the court. Naqeebullah’s family had also disputed the former SSP’s claim, saying that the 27-year-old had no links with any militant organisation. In March 2019, an ATC had indicted Anwar and 17 others for the murder of Naqeebullah in the fake encounter. Eight other policemen involved in the incident are in jail while former SHOs Amanullah Marwat and Shoaib Shaikh are absconders in the case.
