SHO, SP suspended over fake encounter
KARACHI: Station House Officer (SHO) Sharah-e-Noor Jahan Raja Tariq and SP North Nazimabad Lateef Siddiqui have been suspended over killing two innocent people in Karachi, Geo News reported.
A lofty claim made by the police of killing two armed robbers in an encounter proved to be pack of lies after both the 'shot-dead' young men turned out to be innocent citizens out on their business.
Police first took credit for shooting and killing a couple of armed dacoits in North Nazimabad Block-I area, but later their identification as unarmed citizens forced them to take a U-turn.
Police said the deceased were butchers on their way to recover the (pending) payments for animals they slaughtered on Eid-ul-Azha. They added that unknown gunmen killed them both most probably during a holdup as they may have been carrying lot of cash.
“It was a misunderstanding as we had found weapons lying next to the dead bodies of the two men”, the police said.
