Rangers killed gang-war suspect Suhail Dada in an encounter early Thursday who turned out to be Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Irfan Durrani’s brother.
Durrani said his brother’s name was Salman Durrani, alleging that the law enforcement carried out extrajudicial execution. According to sources, Suhail Dada, a gang-war suspect, was killed in an encounter with Rangers near City Station. The law enforcement agency also recovered weapons from his possession.
Dada’s brother, Irfan Durrani, who is president of the PPP Youth Wing South lashed out at Rangers claiming that the slain, Salman Durrani, was his brother. He alleged that Rangers kidnapped his brother from home the other night and handed his body over to legal heirs the next morning.
Methadar police insisted the slain individual was a terrorist identified as Suhail Dada and he was wanted by police in over 40 cases.
Police, who earlier identified the gang-war suspect as Suhail Dada, changed the statement saying the suspect’s name was Salman Dada after Irfan Durrani identified the body as his slain brother.
It merits mentioning here that CID police had claimed to have killed Suhail Dada in a raid at Napier Area on June 18. Police had said that the suspect was wanted in over a 100 cases including murder, kidnapping for ransom and extortion.
The suspect had also a bounty of Rs 05 million over his head. Meanwhile, several suspected persons were arrested during door-to-door search and shifted to undisclosed locations. Weapons of different types were also recovered from the possession of the accused.
PPP leader Irfan Durrani is not the only one to have slammed the targeted operation. Other parties including the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) have also complained in the past about irregularities in the powers enjoyed by the law enforcement conducting operation in the city.
