ISLAMABAD:* The Supreme Court on Friday issued contempt notice to former Malir SSP Rao Anwar as he failed to appear before the apex court* despite being* granted protective bail in* Naqeebullah Mehsood case.

The court, police and family of Naqeebullah Mehsood were hoping the fugitive* officer would turn up today after the court orders but he didn't.

The court ordered the State Bank of Pakistan to freeze banks* accounts of Rao Anwar and directed ISI, IB, and MI to help police arrest the* *officer.

A large number of security personnel were* deployed outside the Supreme Court ahead of the hearing.


Sindh Police Inspector General Police AD Khowaja and other senior officials* were* in Islamabad to attend the hearing.

According to Geo News, Naqeebullah's Mehsood while talking to media* *outside the court expressed the hope his family would get justice .

During the last hearing of a* suo motu notice of police shooting that killed the man from Waziristan in Karachi last month, Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar* had asked Rao Anwar to surrender himself before the apex court on Friday.


The chief justice asked police not to arrest the* officer, granting him protective bail after receiving a letter from the* "encounter specialist".

The former SSP through his letter to the chief justice demanded the top court form a new Joint Investigation Team also comprising members of ISI and Military* Intelligence* .

Anwar also denied his role in the murder of Naqeebullah Mehsood, saying he was not present during the encounter .
