By: Mansoor Khan 
KARACHI - Police have once again get the license to kill the religious parties’ activists in the name of militants, whereas the background history of these fake encounters reveals a race of promotion among the police officers.
According to the report, police have frequently killing the suspect militants, after capturing them, in alleged encounters to avoid the legal proceedings.
The recent encounter took place within the jurisdiction of Gadap Town police station which depicts a terrible outlook of police department. 
An experienced police officer Rao Anwar claimed that at least five militants had been killed, while eight of their accomplices managed to escape. 
It is pertinent to mention here that not a single bullet hit the police mobile and seen at the crime scene, where the encounter reportedly took place. 
If the deceased persons were of militant background, then why they did not retaliate, said Muhammad Ali, an activist of an outlawed organisation. He explained that a militant means a trained fighter and how the police tackled them without receiving even a single injury. 
Ali further explained that training and expertise of police personnel are not enough to protect them without loss. He pointed out five innocents, who were killed by the police as suspected militants, were supposed enough to fight with dozens of police personnel.
He cited the real encounter that took place in the same town couple of months ago. In that police action, the Anti Violence and Crime Cell faced heavy loss and not a single militant was captured.
That encounter showed the capability of police department at large as some dozen police personnel including the chief of AVCC and two personnel of a secret agency sustained injures, while two security personnel also lost their lives in that encounter, he said.
