ATC sends Rao Anwar on judicial remand till May 2

An anti-terrorism court (ATC) sent on Saturday Rao Anwar, the key suspect in Naqeebullah Mehsud murder case, on judicial remand for 11 days.

As his previous 30 days remand ended today, the former Malir Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) was presented before the ATC on Saturday morning. Once the hearing commenced, the ATC announced its decision to send Anwar to jail till May 2. The police had earlier requested the court to grant judicial remand to Anwar.

Shakeel Feroz, another suspect was also sent on judicial remand by the court.

A Joint Investigation Team (JIT), which was formed on the orders of the Supreme Court, in its investigation is expected to present its report to the ATC. However, no member of the JIT reached court.
