Four more accused policemen granted bail in Naqeebullah murder case
Naqeeb was killed on Jan-13.
KARACHI (Dunya News) – An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Saturday issued bail plea of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Qamar and four others in Naqeebullah murder case.
As per details garnered, ATC resumed hearing of the case here today in Karachi. ATC directed two police officials to submit bail bonds worth Rs0.2 mln apiece while court directed DSP Qamar to submit two bail bonds worth Rs5 lakhs apiece in two cases he has been indicted.
On the other hand, former SSP Malir Rao Anwar—who is prime accused in Naqeebullah murder case—filed bail pleas in two more cases. Anwar—in his petition—alleged that police officials were recklessly framed in the case and held the notion that he had no role. He further added that evidence submitted with ATC had proved that he was not present on the occasion.
Naqeebullah’s father
Despondent by the approval of bail pleas, late Naqeebullah’s father Salahuddin told media personnel that main accused were being granted bails without hearing their arguments.
Who was Naqeeb?
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.
