ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Inquiry committee on Friday completed its probe into Naqeebullah Mehsud’s killing in alleged police encounter in Karachi. The final report will be presented in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
The 15-page report has declared Naqeebullah ‘innocent’ and his encounter ‘fake’. Statements of the two persons arrested along with Naqeeb have also been included in the case.
The report further says that police nabbed Naqeebullah and two others from Sohrab Goth on January 3rd. The two accomplices of Naqeeb were left after Rao Anwar’s team allegedly received bribery from them.
The statement of banned outfit Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) commander, imprisoned in Karachi Central Jail, Qari Ahsan is also stated in the report who denied the accusations of Rao Anwar. Ahsan asserted that the murdered Naqeebullah is not the one wanted to police.
