Supreme Court to hear Naqeebullah Mehsud killing case today

ISLAMABAD: A three-member bench of the Supreme Court will resume hearing on Naqeebullah Mehsud killing case shortly.
Naqeebullah Mehsud, a 27-year-old native of Waziristan was among three others who were accused of being terrorists and killed by police in what was later termed a fake encounter.
Sindh Inspector General Police AD Khawaja has arrived in the apex court to attend the hearing of the case.
The court has issued the notice to Director General ISI, Director General MI, Director General IB, Federal Interior Secretary and all four home secretaries for today's hearing.
In its previous hearing, the apex court granted an additional ten days to IG AD Khawaja to arrest suspended Malir SSP Rao Anwar in the extrajudicial killing case. IG Khawaja requested assistance from intelligence agencies for Rao Anwar?s arrest.
The chief justice approved the request and directed the Inter-Services Intelligence, Military Intelligence and Intelligence Bureau to provide their "complete support" to the Sindh Police.
Following claims of innocence from Naqeebullah?s family, an inquiry committee was formed which cleared the deceased 27-year-old of any wrongdoing. An FIR was registered against former Malir SSP Rao Anwar and others in the case. Since then, Rao Anwar has been in hiding.
