Encounters are policy of IG Sindh: Rao Anwar

KARACHI: Suspended SSP Malir, Rao Anwar, has said encounters were a policy of Sindh IGP AD Khwaja, which he followed. The suspended official said this in connection with Naqeebullah killing case.

While talking to Geo News on Thursday, Anwar said Counter-Terrorism Department, crimes branch and local police “also” carry out fake encounters, apparently referring to claims that slam him for carrying out fake encounters.

However, Anwar added, if he would be charged then high officials of the police department would also be questioned as it was their orders that he worked on. According to the suspended SSP, police high-ups should also be booked under Section 109 of the Pakistan penal Code.

Section 109 of PPC refers to punishment of abetment i.e. the person helping another in committing a crime shall be penalised for the offence.

Anwar said If he has hatched a conspiracy then other police officials all will be a part of it.

However, he said, it was wrong that houses of policemen were being raid following killing of Naqeebullah.
