A friend of Naqeebullah Mehsud, a Waziristan-native killed in a ‘police encounter’, was murdered in Karachi’s Gulshan-e-Buner vicinity on March 24, as reported by Geo News.
According to the Landhi police, Maniyal Mehsud was murdered over a personal enmity. The authorities had claimed that fellow tribesmen of the man had killed him over a money dispute.
However, brother of the deceased’s Zainullah Mehsud denied the alleged enmity and said the police was trying to colour the murder as a robbery.
“We want the police to probe into the matter and find the people responsible for my brother’s death,” Zainullah told the private TV channel.
Earlier on February 24, another friend of Naqeebullah was shot dead in Dera Ismail Khan. Police had termed Aftab Mehsud’s killing an outcome of personal enmity too.
Aftab had played a key role in the sit-in against Naqeebullah’s killing in Islamabad.
