Syed Ali Raza, a Sectarian Terrorists Intelligence Group (STIG) official, has been removed from service for allegedly sharing sensitive information with terrorists while holding an important office, said a notice from the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) Sindh.

The written order announcing the dismissal of Ali Raza "with immediate effect" was issued on Tuesday from the office of Additional Inspector General of Police of CTD Sindh.

Raza was accused of sharing confidential information by a political party worker Umair Hassan Siddiqui, who was arrested from Muttahida Qaumi Movement headquarters Nine Zero during a raid by Rangers last year.

Siddiqui made the allegations in front of a joint investigation team, according to the notice. Raza was summoned for questioning but he failed to appear. Instead, a written reply was submitted which was deemed "unsatisfactory", leading to the termination of Raza's service.
