Amanullah Khan Niazi


Amanullah Khan Niazi was a senior jail officer of Central Prison Karachi. He gave his services to prison department for more than 20 years. Niazi was ambushed along with six of his associates allegedly by Ubaid Khursheed alias K2. He was killed as martyrs, because of being reluctant to facilitate inmates belonging to a political party, 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. It was alleged that he killed Niazi over his refusal to provide illegal facilities to Saulat Mirza while his incarceration at Central Prison Karachi.
In 2015 Ubaid was arrested during a Rangers’ raid at Muttahida Qaumi Movement's headquarter Nine Zero.

Amanullah Khan Niazi, his brother Inspector Habibullah khan Niazi, head constable Akhtar Hussain, police constable Sabir Sultan, and Shafiullah were killed, while several others were injured in the attack near Electronics Market.
