Police Encounter Specialist, Rao Anwar is in hot waters following the extrajudicial killing of the 27-year-old Naqibullah Mehsud from South Waziristan.
While the suspended Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) Malir denied any involvement in Naqib’s case, the lack of cooperation from the accused with the probe committee has further worsened the scenario for Rao Anwar.
Rao had also failed to appear before the Inspector General Police (IGP). According to the latest developments on the case, the suspended police officer was offloaded from Emirates 615 flight at Islamabad Airport around 02:30 am as he tried to flee to Dubai.

There are no reports of him being arrested yet, but he wasn’t allowed to travel to Dubai following the probe committee’s suggestion of putting his name on the Exit Control List (ECL).
The enquiry committee comprising of Deputy Inspector General (DIG) South Azad Khan, DIG East Sultan Ali Khowaja and the head of the committee IGP Sindh Counter-Terrorism Department Dr Sanaullah Abbasi, had earlier suggested the arrest of Rao Anwar for the killing of an innocent in a staged encounter. Reports suggest that Naqib wasn’t the first one but that Rao and his minions had killed several dozens of people in similar staged encounters.
The Twitterati had earlier demanded justice for Naqib by arresting and investigating Rao Anwar for killing an innocent Pakistani without any proof. Here’s what the people are saying after the alleged murderer was stopped from fleeing the country.
#RaoAnwar case is a starter it should be used to figure out which areas and police officers are engaged in extra-judicial killings we forget that this practice is prevalent in Punjab good officers are all encounter experts

No one is above the law.
You don’t get to “boycott” an inquiry for an extrajudicial killing that happened on YOUR watch #RaoAnwar #NaqeebMehsud pic.twitter.com/BOjeKX1p9g

Rao must be held accountable at the earliest.
Reluctancy in Arrest of #RaoAnwar has put a question mark on Governance of #PPP @BBhuttoZardari When He will be bought to Accountability & #JusticeForNaqeebMehsud

Not exactly arrested, but its a start, nonetheless.

Shall these goons get a taste of their own medicine?

A harsh reality?
Police is designed , organised and trained as anti people, anti social and anti justice force.#RaoAnwar #NaqeebMehsud

Hopefully, the law enforcement agencies will provide justice to the families of the so many innocents who were killed by goons disguised as police officers like Rao Anwar and many others.
Justice is an illusion in this country… Time passes people forget End of story…
you are late posting this news.
Better late than never
in bhaye logo ko abi pta chala he na
1.8Million cases are pending in courts… its the condition of justice providers… We are living in a jungle…
Pehlay mqm marti the awam ko,
Ab ye kaam police karti hai.
In our neighborhood reside a police man. And our entire neighborhood social boycotted his family. Na koi oun kay jata hai, na koi oun kay ghar ka aya kuch khata hai.
Police ka social boycott kar daina chaheay jab tak ye sudhar na jayein.
Qatil Rao kay apnay bachay dubai mai, kay oun par koi aanch na aay.
Pakistani bachay lawaris hain na, kay jis ka jo je mai ay wo karay.
If Rao Anwar isn’t bought to justice this time, Justice will never be able to serve again in this country against influential officials and elites.
