Rangers transfer five detained MQM workers to police custody

KARACHI: Rangers on Friday evening handed over five Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) members, detained in the raid on the party office on Abul Hasan Ispahani road, to police.

MQM workers Aqeel, Rashid, Kashif, Naushad and Tariq, who were arrested by rangers during the raid on the party's Gulshan-e-Maymar office were handed over to District Malir's investigation wing of Sachal police.
Sachal SHO M Shoaib said no new case was being registered against suspects since they had already been nominated in previously existing criminal cases along with cases of rioting.

The three other workers remain Rangers custody for 90 days.

Meanwhile, MQM chief Altaf Hussain has summoned a general workers meeting on Saturday evening, 5pm. The meeting will be held at the MQM headquarters.

Altaf said he will make important declarations in the meeting regarding the double standards of the ‘establishment.'

Good work. Hope Police and the Courts do their job with honesty and don't succumb to political pressure.
