(Dunya News) – Anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Thursday suspended hearing on bail plea of former senior superintendent of police (SSP) Rao Anwar till July-4.

Earlier, Anwar was presented in the ATC along with ten other accused.

Anwar stated that a fake number was attributed to him in the report.

Mehsud, a 27-year-old hailing from South Waziristan, was gunned down on January 13 in Shah Latif Town by alleged ‘encounter’ with a police team headed by Rao Anwar, however; preliminary probe suggest that Mehsud was killed in cold blood and had no terror links.

His 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.
