Sindh Inspector General of Police Mushtaq Ahmed Mahar on Wednesday ordered an inquiry into the killing of a student of the Sindh University in an alleged encounter in Sukkur after it triggered outrage on social media with opposition parties in the provincial assembly demanding a judicial probe into the matter.
Police claimed that Mohammad Irfan Jatoi was a notorious dacoit wanted in several crimes and was shot dead in an exchange of fire with police in Sukkur district on Sunday.
However, his friends in the varsity and social media activists rejected the police claims and said that he was a Sindh University student who was allegedly taken away by the law enforcers from the varsity on February 10 and killed in custody nearly a month later.

He was accompanied by PML-N Sindh leaders Khawaja Tariq Nazeer, Ghulam Mustafa, and Nisar Shah. Ismail said that people, not opposition parties, have decided to take resignation from Prime Minister Imran Khan.
