Four Rangers personnel arrested over MQM worker's custodial death
Mashhadi and Ajmeri are also members of MQM’s zonal committee, according to MQM spokesperson Javed Khan.
MQM leaders on Saturday protested outside the Hyderabad Press Club, alleging the Rangers made the arrests without producing arrest warrants.
The party spokesperson said no one among the detainees has been nominated in any police case, adding that the police are neither confirming nor denying the arrest. The party has submitted an application to the district police for their recovery.
