PESHAWAR, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — The banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has accused Pakistani security forces and the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) of killing six detainees in an alleged staged encounter on the Adezai–Kala Khel Road near Peshawar during the night of October 18.
In a statement issued on October 19, the group claimed the six individuals had previously been detained because of their alleged family connections to TTP members.
The TTP also alleged that the incident was part of a wider pattern of extrajudicial killings and issued a warning to those it held responsible.
The allegations, including the identities and detention status of the deceased, have not been independently substantiated. No official response from the security forces or CTD was available in the information provided.
Independent verification is pending.
