On Wednesday, at least three men were taken into custody during the operation, according to unconfirmed reports. The Rangers raided several houses in the MQM’s stronghold, Azizabad. The search operation of houses belonging to party workers lasted more than three hours.
MQM’s Rabita Committee member Amin ul Haque confirmed to The Express Tribune that the search operation was conducted, saying they had extended full support to the Rangers during their activity. “We have been in favour of the targeted operation since the beginning and fully cooperated with the Rangers.”
