SHC transfers Naqeebullah murder case to another ATC

Author: inp

The Sindh High Court (SHC) accepted on Monday an application filed by the father of Naqeebullah Mehsud to transfer the case relating to his son’s murder to another anti-terrorism court (ATC).

Naqeebullah Mehsud was a Waziristan native who was killed in a staged encounter in Karachi earlier this year.

A division bench headed by Chief Justice of SHC Ahmed Ali M. Shaikh ordered to transfer the case to another court.

The ATC that will hear the case in the future will be announced by the court’s administrative office.

Former Malir SSP Rao Anwar, then DSP Qamar Ahmed Shaikh, and their 10 detained and 14 absconding subordinates have been booked in the cases of allegedly killing four men, including Mehsud, in a fake shootout in Shah Latif Town on January 13 this year and foisting fake recoveries of illicit arms and explosives on the victims.
