KARACHI:
Pakistan Rangers, Sindh, vowed to continue the operation in the metropolis with full force and without any discrimination in a ‘coordinated manner’.
“The Rangers will continue the operation against terrorists and target killers while continuing the operation in a coordinated manner and law and justice will be ensured in this regard,” said a press statement issued by the Rangers on Friday evening.
It further said that this was decided in a conference held at the Rangers Headquarters, which was attended by sector and wing commanders of the paramilitary force.
The Rangers are currently facing criticism in the aftermath of the custodial death of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) senior leader Farooq Sattar’s coordinator, Aftab Ahmed, who was in the 90-day preventive custody of the Rangers. Hussain’s initial post-mortem report confirmed that he was brutally tortured. However, despite the passage of a couple of days of the formation of the investigation committee by the Rangers director-general to inquire into his custodial death, Rangers officials have yet to complete their investigation report.
