KARACHI: Suspended SSP Rao Anwar has filed his bail petition, stating that geo-fencing and joint investigation reports and charge-sheet have contradictory information.
The anti-terrorism court has therefore issued notice to government’s counsel to appear for the hearing on May 14.
Anwar is accused of killing Naqeebullah Mehsud, a shopkeeper and an aspiring model, in an encounter staged to kill ‘militants’.
The suspended SSP was to appear in the court on May 2 but did not as it was said his health condition had deteriorated. His medical certificate, submitted to the court, stated that Anwar could not be presented due to his illness, the exact nature of which was not mentioned.
As per the charge-sheet, Anwar failed to provide evidence that he was not involved in the incident. It also states that the suspended SSP did not share all the facts and resorted to delaying tactics.
