The encounter killing of Naqeebullah Mehsud occurred on 13 January 2018, in the eastern suburbs of Karachi, following the encounter carried out by Rao Anwar.[1][2] Mehsud was charged with militancy and links with Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.[3] The claim was contested by the relatives and subsequently an inquiry team was formed to investigate the killing.[4][5] The investigation found that Mehsud was innocent, and that before his murder, he was forcefully abducted during a raid by police personnel on the evening of 3 January 2018 in Karachi. He went missing for 10 days and was then killed in a fake encounter. First strike was called by the president of National Youth Organisation (NYO) Sindh Chapter at Karachi press club.[1][6]
