Paramilitary Rangers shot dead Sarfaraz Shah, 22, in Karachi on June 8 after he was accused of robbery and his family has demanded justice, insisting he was an innocent student.
The killing was filmed by a television cameraman and subsequently broadcast around-the-clock on national television channels.
Public prosecutor Arshad Iqbal Cheema told AFP: “We have formally charged the six Rangers personnel and a civilian for murder and terrorism and have submitted our charge sheet to the judge of the anti-terrorism court.
“The court has accepted the charge sheet and approved it for formal hearing.”
Cheema said investigators had gathered forensic and chemical reports from the relevant departments and had also had the footage of the killing checked by experts “who verified it as a genuine, unedited and unaltered film”.
“We have a solid case in terms of evidences and witnesses,” he said.
“We have two eye-witnesses who were present on the scene, besides 44 including the experts and officials involved in the case investigation.” The prosecutor said the judge would fix a date for the formal hearing next week.
In a rare move towards accountability, Pakistan this week removed the chiefs of police and Rangers in Sindh province, of which Karachi is the capital.
Footage of the killing showed a clean-shaven man wearing black trousers and a navy shirt pleading for his life before he was shot twice.
He then begged for help while the soldiers appeared to do nothing but watch him fall slowly unconscious.
Similar killings last month of five unarmed Chechens, one of them a pregnant woman, in the city of Quetta are also under investigation.
