The Home Ministry of Sindh on Saturday wrote a letter to the administrations of all four provinces, Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT), Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), and Kashmir in light of the pending arrest of former Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) for Malir Rao Anwar and his team.

The letter also mentioned the pending arrest of Zareen Dawar ? the person who, on social media, offered a bounty on Anwar's head.

A team was also set up to arrest the fugitive police official and his accomplices, Geo News reported, with CJP Justice Saqib Nisar ordering Anwar to be taken into custody in three days.

In this regard, Sohail Anwar Siyal ? the Interior Minister for Sindh ? said it was advisable for Anwar, the wanted police officer, to appear in front of the inquiry committee, especially due to the fact that the investigation revealed the encounter he conducted was "fake".

Anwar needs to state the truth, Siyal noted, adding that upholding the law is obligatory for everyone.

In Rao Anwar?s interest to face the court, says IG Sindh

SC has given the IG three days to arrest the suspended police officer

Earlier in the day, A.D. Khawaja ? the Inspector General of Police (IGP) for Sindh ? urged the ex-SSP to "face the court" and adopt a "legal course" of action rather than continue evading detention.

Speaking to the media outside the Supreme Court, Khawaja weighed in over the "disappearance" of the suspended police officer.

?I think that [Rao Anwar] should face the court and court a legal course. The court will listen to his legal arguments,? he said.
