PTI MPA lauds ISPR statement on ‘Karachi incident’ inquiry

According to the ISPR’s statement, inquiry into the allegations of the Sindh IGP’s abduction - ‘Karachi incident’ - revealed that officers of the Sindh Rangers and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) headquarters in Karachi were under “public pressure to ensure prompt action as per the law” and acted “over zealously”.
