RAWALPINDI - An alleged plan to assassinate Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan was unearthed when a team of Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) recovered PTI flags and a large number of caps from the house being used as a hideout by the terrorist family killed in intelligence agencies and police commandoes’ raid in Iqbal Town, Dhamial two days ago.

The team of CTD investigators also collected other substantial evidence from the crime scene for further investigation after lodging a case on application of Station House Officer (SHO) Police Station (PS) Saddar Bairooni as plaintiff.

The evidence included pictures of alleged terrorist ladies Sumaira Qaisar and Malqa Mustafa, the wife and mother of alleged terrorist Qaisar Mustafa respectively, picture of a small child that clicked somewhere in Karachi, schoolbooks and copies of children, passport of alleged terrorist and other stuff.

“The terrorists residing in the house and killed during raid were executing their plan to hit PTI chief Imran Khan in the guise of PTI activists in any public gathering,” disclosed a CTD investigator, requesting this scribe not to mention his name in the news story.

He said the terrorists had earlier also made a plan to kill Imran Khan which was detected by the intelligence agencies.

“Imran Khan is a lucky leader and God has saved him once again from terrorists,” he said.

He informed that CTD had recovered evidence from the crime scene for further investigation.

He said that Qaisar Mustafa was a dangerous terrorist who was earlier associated with banned outfit Sipah-e-Sahaba and then joined Jamat-ud-Dawa.

Qaisar, who has also his fake name Suhail, joined Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) but after he quit the banned outfit and again joined Sipah-e-Sahaba.

He said Qaisar alias Suhail and his wife Sumaira were both wanted by CTD Karachi who had conducted almost 10 raids in twin cities to arrest them but all the time the couple managed to escape.

“Once CTD tightened noose against Qaisar after detecting his car parked in a place but he (Qaisar) smelled the rat and escaped. The car that was later taken into custody by CTD,” he said, adding, that later Qaisar got back his car trough a court ‘Superdari’ by presenting a fake owner before the judge.

The CTD investigator revealed that they found a cupboard in the room decorated with stickers mentioning “Long Live Daesh”, “Long Live TTP”, “Long Live Al-Qaida” and “Long Live Sipah-e-Sahaba”.

The CTD team also grilled a lady, who lived a few yards away from the terrorist hideout and according to locals was frequent visitor of the hideout. The lady told CTD investigators that she had visited twice to the terrorist family for requesting them to provide him gas through a pipe to lit the stove.

“But the terrorist ladies had not opened the door and refused to give me connection,” she told the investigators.

When contacted for official version by this scribe, a senior high-up of CTD said that they had not recovered the PTI flags and caps from terrorists hideout in such a big number that one could assume the terrorists were planning to kill Imran Khan.

“This is wrong. Even the terrorists can affiliate with any political party,” he added.

Meanwhile, Elite Force head SSP Jaffar Abbas visited the crime scene amid tight security. He was briefed by personnel of intelligence agency.

An officer of country’s top security department on request of anonymity shared with The Nation how the police commandoes faced the terrorist family inside the house.

According to him, the police commandoes entered in the house from the SKS Montessori School through ladders and had caught Qaisar Mustafa alive and asked the ladies to sit calmly. However, Sumaira ran towards the cupboard and picked a bottle of explosive foam and sprayed in the room.

Then she hurled a grenade which detonated with a big bang causing huge fire in the house killing SI Irshad and injuring other three commandoes.

Qaisar was killed by police, he said.

“The raiding team was not expecting any resistance in presence of children and ladies in the house,” he said.

He said that CTD also took into custody from house a child namely Khaqan, who was hiding in washroom, Usama, the brother of Qaisar, Mustafa, the father of terrorist and another brother of Qaisar.

A chowkidar, who was guarding school at the night of raid, told The Nation that Qaisar arrived in a speedy car at 11:45pm from somewhere and parked the car in garage. “He is seemingly in hurry and distressed,” he said adding, that at 1am Pakistan Army and Elite Force surrounded the house and started operation.

Shehnaz Bibi, the owner of the house, told this scribe she rented out the house to the family through a property dealer namely Nazir Ahmed in 2014 against Rs 6,000 per month.

She added that she never had speculation over the family as all the women were completely observing parda by wearing veils and had often preached her for offering prayer and doing virtues.

She said that the terrorist family comprised Mustafa, the head of family; Malqa, the wife of Mustafa; their siblings Qaisar, Usama, Awais, Itrat and Aqsa; Sumaira, the wife of Qaisar and their two sons Muhammad, aged 2 and half years and Azan, aged 7; Khaqan a 7-year-old child who was told to be nephew of Mustafa and studying in APS at Bakra Mandi.

She said that Mustafa told her once that he had factories of nimko and chips in Karachi and in Adiala.
