Naqeeb murder case: Police to provide protection to two witnesses following court's order
2018-02-10
[DAWN] In a letter written to the secretary Sindh Home Department, provincial authorities have been asked to provide protection for two witnesses in the Naqeebullah murder case on court’s orders.

Both witnesses will be provided security under Section-4 of Witness Protection Act, according to which they will be given a security detail of three coppers each. In addition to this, the SSP Malir district has been asked to relocate the said witnesses to a safe location, preferably in the cantonment area.

However,
death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate...
the letter, a copy of which is available with Dawn, mentions that the witness protection programme is not fully functional yet due to non-allocation of funds.

Naqeebullah Mehsud, a South Wazoo resident, was among the four killed in what was later found to be a staged encounter led by then SSP Malir Rao Anwar.
