Sindh IG says can’t give timeframe for Rao Anwar’s arrest

ISLAMABAD: Inspector General of Police AD Khawaja on Wednesday said former SSP Rao Anwar is making calls through WhatsApp and the police is unable to trace his location.

He said the police lacks technology to trace calls made through the social networking application. Police has, however, contacted Pakistan Telecommunication Authority to trace the location of Anwar's WhatsApp calls, he added. Taking to reporters outside the Supreme Court, AD Khawaja said he could not give any certain date for arresting Rao Anwar, after the Supreme Court ordered his arrest over the suspected extra-judicial killing of a 27-year-old Naqeebullah Mehsud in Karachi. Khawaja said the police had registered a case and have completed the legal requirements. Naqeebullah Mehsud along with three others was killed by a police team led by Rao Anwar on January 13, in Shah Latif Town, Karachi. It is to mention here that a three-member bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar is hearing the suo moto notice on the extra-judicial killing of Naqeebullah Mehsud. The court has issued notices to interior secretary, Sindh IGP, Addl IG Counter Terrorism Department, DG Civil Aviation Authority and the Advocate General Sindh.
