Malik Mansha Ali Khokhar alias Mansha Bomb, who has been named in more than 70 cases, has told the Anti-Terrorism Court he fears Punjab police will kill him in a fake encounter.

On Monday, Islamabad police took the alleged land-grabber Mansha into custody from the Supreme Court of Pakistan's premises.  The top court had ordered the accused to be shifted to Lahore in Punjab police's custody.

Express News reported that during the case proceedings in the federal capital on Tuesday, Mansha told the court that he does not trust the police, saying, "I fear they might do something to me".

The accused went on to add that he had refused to turn himself in because he believed police would harm him. He pleaded to the court to have the case be investigated by an "honest police officer."

"I have four sons; one of whom is a member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)," Mansha added.

The top court had rejected the bail plea of the accused who had gone to the court to ‘surrender’ himself to the authorities. The accused was then shifted to the Secretariat Police Station.
