KARACHI – An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Karachi ordered on Saturday to release the former SSP Malir Rao Anwar, who is prime accused in Naqeebullah Mehsud Murder case.
Rao was indicted in Naqeebullah murder case and illegal arms case whereas former SSP Malir’s bail pleas in both cases were approved on July-10 and July-25 respectively against bail bonds of Rs1 mln apiece.
Mehsud was among four people killed in a fake encounter on January 13. SSP Anwar had claimed that all four of the men killed, allegedly on his orders, belonged to the terrorist outfit Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
