Amanullah Khan Niazi

Amanullah Khan Niazi was a senior jail officer (deputy superintendent) of Central Prison Karachi.[1] He gave his services to prison department for more than 20 years. Niazi was shot dead along with six of his associates allegedly by Ubaid Khursheed alias K2. He was killed, because he was reluctant to facilitate inmates belonging to a political party (not let the women visiting them in jail stay beyond visiting hours), including death row inmate Saulat Mirza, Nadir Shah and Saeed alias Bharam. Saeed was angry about Niazi not cooperating. As soon as he was released from jail, he started plotting against him. In 2015 Ubaid was arrested during a Rangers’ raid at Muttahida Qaumi Movement's headquarter Nine Zero.[2] During the interrogation, Ubaid claimed that he was given the task along with at least a dozen other men.[3] The plan was set in motion on June 15, 2006. Amanullah Niazi, his brother Inspector Habibullah Niazi, head constable Akhtar Hussain, police constable Sabir, and Shafi were killed, while several others were injured in the attack near Electronics Market in June, 2006.
