Naqeeb’s father reminisces about ‘good-natured son’

Mohammed Khan Mehsud, father of slain Naqeebullah Mehsud, said that his son was a good-natured individual and a very easy going person.

Mehsud said that Naqeeb left behind two daughters and a son. The grieving father demanded that the culprits behind the killing of his son should not go scot-free in order to save others like him.

Naqeeb’s father also said that his son had a shop in Karachi.

His family finds it hard to believe that he is no longer around, till today his friends and tribal leaders visit their home to offer condolences.

Speaking to Geo News earlier, relatives of Naqeebullah alias Naseemullah said that the deceased came to Karachi from South Waziristan one year ago and ran a clothing shop at Al-Asif Square, and was not involved in any unlawful activities.

SSP Malir Rao Anwar in a media talk had claimed to have shot dead four terrorists, including Naseemullah, allegedly affiliated with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, in a police encounter at Shah Latif town on January 13.

However, acquaintances and relatives of the deceased dispute the claim and term the incident an extrajudicial murder.
