KARACHI Jan 19 (TNS): Senior Superintendent of Police Rao Anwar insists that Naqeebullah, a man who was killed by police in Karachi last week, was a terrorist.

While speaking to a private television channel, Rao Anwar claimed that the suspect was involved in several murders and had ties with terrorist outfits.

Sindh Home Minister Sohail Anwar Siyal, today, took notice of the death following reports that the 27-year-old hailing from South Waziristan was innocent and allegedly killed in a “staged encounter”.

Naqeebullah was allegedly among the four suspects killed in an ‘encounter’ with a police team headed by Rao Anwar on outskirts of Karachi.

A protest was staged outside Karachi Press Club today to condemn the killing, calling for justice for the victim’s family.
