Rao Anwar Ahmed Khan (Urdu: راؤ انوار احمد خان) is a retired Pakistani police officer who served as a Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in the Malir District of Karachi.[2][3] He is known as the "encounter specialist" of the Sindh Police because of his extrajudicial killings in alleged encounters,[4] carrying out at least 444 killings between 2011 and 2018.[5][6] After the killing of Naqeebullah Mehsud, Anwar was suspended from his post on 20 January 2018.[7][8]
On 10 December 2019, Anwar was blacklisted by the United States Department of the Treasury in the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List under the Global Magnitsky Act for his atrocities during his tenure, including the murder of Naqeebullah Mehsud.[9][10] A year later, the United Kingdom also slapped him with sanctions, which included an asset freeze and travel ban to the UK.[11] On 1 October 2021, Pakistan's National Accountability Bureau (NAB) launched an investigation against Anwar for accumulating assets worth millions of rupees beyond his known source of income, and approved the seizure of his nine bank accounts.[12]
