The funeral prayers were led by <strong>Maulana Riaz Hussain Rohani<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to police sources, the encounter took place a day earlier within the jurisdiction of <strong>C-Section Police Station<\/strong>, during which <strong>Sultan Shah and his son were shot dead<\/strong>. Police officials claimed that Sultan Shah was a <strong>notorious wanted criminal<\/strong>, allegedly involved in multiple serious offenses. The Interior Ministry had placed a <strong>bounty of Rs 2 million<\/strong> on his head, declaring him a <strong>symbol of fear and terror<\/strong> in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the police\u2019s narrative has come under <strong>scrutiny following a viral video<\/strong> on social media that surfaced shortly before Sultan Shah\u2019s death. The footage appears to show circumstances contradicting the official version of events, prompting widespread debate and suspicion about whether the \u201cencounter\u201d was staged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Members of the <strong>civil society and human rights organizations<\/strong> have called for a <strong>transparent and independent investigation<\/strong> into the incident, stressing the need for accountability and justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Locals described the scene at the funeral as tense but peaceful, with many expressing <strong>grief, anger, and mistrust<\/strong> toward the authorities. Some attendees alleged that the police operation may have been <strong>an extrajudicial killing<\/strong> carried out under the guise of a legitimate encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite mounting questions, <strong>Sukkur Police<\/strong> have stood by their account, maintaining that the operation was conducted lawfully and that both men were armed and resisted arrest. Officials have also claimed that weapons and ammunition were recovered from the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incident has once again reignited the <strong>public debate over alleged fake encounters<\/strong> in Sindh, where human rights advocates have long accused law enforcement agencies of bypassing due process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sukkur (Report by Danish Rajput):The funeral prayers of Sultan Shah and his son Habdar Shah, who were killed in an alleged police encounter, were held near Shikarpur Phatak, where a large number of family members, relatives, and local residents attended to pay their final respects.
