The decision was made today during the hearing of the Fahad Aziz torture case. The MQM had gone to court on February 11 against, what it calls, extrajudicial killings of its workers after Aziz was allegedly picked up by the law enforcers and subjected to torture on February 8.
The high court had issued notices to the federal and provincial interior secretaries, provincial chiefs of the police and Rangers and their subordinates on this plea.
The petition was jointly filed by Aziz, his relative Abdul Aziz and MQM deputy convener Dr Farooq Sattar. They had cited SSP East Pir Muhammad Shah and Shah Faisal police SHO Fahim Farooqui as respondents, apart from others.
The judges were informed that around eight party workers have been killed while over 45 have gone missing. The petitioners had also asked that police authorities compensate Aziz for torturing him in custody.
The MQM worker was arrested by police on February 8 and was released on bail the next day. Aziz had claimed that he was tortured during police interrogation. He was taken to Darul Sehat Hospital after having been detained by the police for about 10 hours.

@cheema..learn lesson from East Pakistan and Balochistan...
finally judiciary took notice ..
Above all, MQM justify your extortioning first.
this guy (fahad aziz) look like amir liaqat
@Farhan Why Altaf does not come back and talk about splitting Pakistan sitting abroad. MQM deserves more than that.
He looks like Indian actor Irfan Khan
when there is a smoke, there will always be a fire over there . LEA's always pick persons who are involved in suspicious activities. Therefore, they must now provide evidence about his alleged activities so that people may acknowledge MQM activities.
It asks when you are going to be treated brutally but it was just a single day that in-rolled you in hospital think about 1 weak? hilarious
@Cheema: Is there anyone you'd like to implicate?
@usman786: Your devilish perception of MQM is not because of experience, but due to hearsay.
