KARACHI,(Pakistan Point News - 29th Jan, 2018 ) Former SSP Malir Rao Anwar, who has been booked for his alleged involvement in a staged encounter that led to the death of an aspiring fashion model, has put the efficiency of his department to catch him to the test. With the Supreme Court’s deadline for arresting SSP Anwar expiring on Wednesday, the Sindh police have yet not found any clue to his whereabouts. The under-fire police officer is believed to have gone into hiding after registration of a murder case against him and his team for their involvement in what investigators described a fake/staged encounter.
The apex court on January 27 set three-day deadline for IG Sindh to arrest the SSP in the murder case of 27-year-old Naseemullah, better known as Naqeeb Ullah Mehsud. After seeking help of the Federal and other provincial governments, Sindh Inspector General AD Khawaja wrote a letter to intelligence agencies for their assistance in arresting suspended SSP Malir Rao Anwar. In the letter, Sindh IG has expressed his concerns over Anwar’s likely escape to a foreign country.
Intelligence agencies have paced up their efforts to locate the whereabouts of Rao Anwar. The ex-SSP had earlier tried to flee Dubai but the bid was foiled by the immigration staff at Benazir Bhutto International Airport on January 23. His name was later placed on Exit Control List (ECL) on the directions of court. The hearing of the case in SC is due to held on Thursday.
