Mama Qadeer said it was not the first time that SFs had come up with such a claim after killing people in custody. “At least five of those 13 men killed were missing for the past few months,” he said, adding, “They all were picked up from different areas of Turbat District. Their families had reasons to believe that they were in custody of agencies.” He said the names of the five young men were registered with his group as ‘missing Baloch persons’ and that institutions concerned as well as some human rights’ organisations were aware of their enforced disappearance. He further said that for a couple of years security agencies had been killing people in their custody after every attack carried out by militant groups. He said the situation in Balochistan was constantly deteriorating and both the Federal and Provincial Governments were appeared helpless in resolving the issue of missing persons.

The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) in its latest report stated that killings in Karachi, in the last three months, have witnessed a 33.5 per cent decline as compared to last year, reported The Express Tribune on April 16 (today).

Last year in 2014, between January and March, nearly 800 people had been killed. Talking to The Express Tribune, HRCP’s vice-chairperson in Sindh Asad Iqbal Butt said that there was a decline in killings as compared to 2014 as Law Enforcement Agencies had become more active. “Political activists who were involved in criminal activities are being arrested by law enforcers,” he said, adding, “This has brought down the total number of killings and murders in the city.” He added that while numbers for targeted attacks and killings had gone down in Karachi, street crimes such as robberies had increased.

While announcing the arrest of two terror suspects, Tahir alias Lamba and Mama Junaid, Malir-District Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Rao Anwar on April 30 claimed that they were both members of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and also worked for Indian spy agency Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), reports Dawn. He further said that they were sent to India for training in the past. “MQM is a terrorist organization and it should be banned,” SSP Anwar said, while narrating that members of MQM went to India through Indian-held Kashmir where they were trained there by R&AW and to come back to Pakistan to spread terror. "We have solid evidence to prove these allegations. The two people we arrested have confessed all of this and they are ashamed of their activities. We recovered a large amount of explosives, hand grenades, 9mm pistols from these suspects. We will investigate further during the remand," he said, adding, “MQM is spreading terror in the guise of a political party, and all the senior leaders of MQM including its chief Altaf Hussain are involved in spreading terror in the country.” He further alleged that Zulfiqar Haider and Nadeem Nusrat, the deputy convener of MQM, have been funding these terrorist activities from London. Adding to the SSP's allegations, The News reported the statement of the death-row prisoner and former MQM worker Saulat Mirza, which was recorded a few days ago with the Joint Investigation Team (JIT), that MQM had links with India’s intelligence agency R&AW. According to the JIT report, Mirza said that funding to MQM came from R&AW. The report says that Mirza confessed to killing 13 people before the JIT and yet he was implicated in two murders only. Soon after, MQM leader Haider Abbas Rizvi, while addressing a press conference at MQM headquarters Nine Zero in Karachi on April 30, categorically denounced "baseless allegations" levelled against the party by SSP Malir Anwar Rao, reported Dawn. Later, hours after his allegations on April 30, SSP Malir Rao Anwar was suspended, reports The Express Tribune. Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah took notice of this unusual press conference and abuse of authority, following which Inspector General (IG) Sindh suspended SSP Rao and ordered him to report to the Central Police Office. Meanwhile, SSP East Peer Muhammad Shah has been given additional charge of District Malir.
