Earlier, suspended SSP Rao Anwar failed to appear before the anti-terrorism court in the Naqeebullah Mehsud murder case over ‘deteriorating health conditions’.

Anwar’s absence irked the court which ordered authorities to ensure Rao’s appearance in the next hearing.

Naqeebullah Mehsud, a 27-year-old native of South Waziristan, was killed in a fake encounter by a police team headed by Anwar in the outskirts of the metropolis on January 13 this year.

A Joint Investigation Team formed to probe the murder confirmed that Rao Anwar was present at the scene of the crime and the police constables had tried to change the Sim cards of mobile phones.
