Speaking to the media at the funeral of the MQM worker Muhammad Adil, Sattar claimed that Adil had been picked up by the Rangers from 5C-2 Area of North Karachi at around 11 AM on Saturday.
At the time of his arrest, Sattar claimed, Adil was in good shape and had got into the Rangers’ vehicle by himself.
The MQM leader added that later, when the family went to the Rangers office in New Karachi on Saturday evening and asked to see him, Adil was handed over to them unconscious and in bad shape. His two brothers shifted him to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital where he was put on ventilator. After 48 hours, early on Tuesday, doctors pronounced him “clinically dead”.
He complained that the Rangers officials did not even bothered to take Adil to the hospital in their vehicle. He had died of injuries suffered during the torture in custody of law-enforcement agencies, the MQM leader added.

@Muhajir Power & Munna Mohajir:
I also belong to an Urdu Speaking background but majority of my relative don't support or agree with Altaf Hussain's continuous dramas and tactics. Talk about yourself and don't include me and many others amongst your ranks who cheer for Altaf Hussain.
How many Punjabis and Pashtuns have you met? Do you know anything about the people of other areas? I as an overseas Pakistani have interacted with many and my knowledge and perceptions about anything are beyond the limits of hate literature that is preached by MQM.
ET, kindly post my this comment if you want Pakistan to remain diverse and please listen to your own conscience.
@Muhajir Power and @Munna Mohajir
Someone please tell these men the meaning of the word "Mohajir".
I feel sad for you brainwashed guys. Riled up by ethnic disputes propoganda
Rangers and police will continue to arrest the innocent..because they have no gut to arrest criminals and terrorist hiding in Lyari,baldia town,al-asif etc
D.G.Rangers should do operation in his own provine..Punjab..just killing innocent unarmed people is not brevery..learn lesson from past
If there is any one who is concerned about the future of this country fear for the day when people will come out in millions and take the law in thier own hands.
There is no denying it's a targeted operation against Mohajirs.
