The Sahiwal killings are the shooting of a couple, their teenage daughter and their neighbour who was driving a Suzuki Alto during an alleged police encounter[1] on 19 January 2019, staged by Punjab Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) on a highway near Sahiwal city of Pakistan.[2]
The victims were identified as grocery store owner Mohammad Khalil, his wife Nabila, their 13-year-old daughter Areeba and their friend who was driving the car, Zeeshan Javed.[3] Their son Umair Khalil sustained bullet wounds while his sister Muniba's hand also sustained gunshot-related injuries[4] and Hadia, their younger sister remained unhurt.[1]
The police first claimed that they were kidnappers who were kidnapping the children, they told the story to people at a petrol pump where they left the children of the victims. After video of the Khalil's son surfaced where he claimed that the deceased in the encounter were his parents, the story took a turn and the CTD changed its stance, declaring only the driver named Zeeshan as terrorist affiliated with ISIS.
According to initial press releases, CTD claimed that on intelligence report an anti-terrorism operation was conducted.[5] During this raid, four people were killed by their own collaborators and three terrorists managed to flee.[6] However, eyewitness reports and statements of survivors negated the version of CTD.[5]
