The court also summoned the foreign travel details of Rao Anwar, reply of interior secretary and concerned authorities of land routes and border. SC ordered Director General Civil Aviation to present the statements of private jet owners.
The court while adjourning the hearing till Thursday directed home secretary, DG Civil Aviation, Sindh IG and JIT to submit reports in the case.
Police allegedly fatally shot Naqeebullah Mehsud, 27, during a raid on what they described as a "terrorist hideout" in eastern Karachi.
Naqeebullah’s killing sparked a social media outcry, as his family members rejected claims by authorities that he was a member of the Tehreek-e-Taliban, saying he was an innocent aspiring male model.
