The wife of the alleged facilitator in the murder of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Imran Farooq on Monday filed a petition in Sindh High Court against her husband’s detention, hours after Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar claimed the accomplice was arrested in Karachi.

Sadia Bano said Rangers personnel raided her house located in Block 8 of the Federal B Area, near Azizabad in the early hours of April 12.

In her petition, she has alleged that despite approaching the Azizabad police station to seek information regarding the whereabouts of her husband, the SHO refused to oblige. Even Rangers officials did not cooperate, she claimed.

Bano argues that the failure of law enforcers to divulge information of her husband’s whereabouts is a violation of Article 18 of the Constitution.

The SHC has been requested to direct the Sindh home secretary, DG Rangers, IG Sindh, SHO Azizabad and other officials to produce the detainee in a court of law along with details of a case it has been filed. The court is likely to take up the matter in the next few days.

AQM | 9 years ago | Reply I cannot believe a so called "MOST WANTED" criminal living in peace at his home with all the evidence in his cupboard for rangers to search an recover. This is all Govt, agencies drama. this will all end if MQM agree to withdraw his candidate from NA-246. shameful establishment, clear Political Victimization, Discrimination.

salim | 9 years ago | Reply @khan: @Ishfaq: The wife did not kill anybody. SHE is asking for her constitutional rights. Is that too difficult to understand?

khan | 9 years ago | Reply Bano argues that the failure of law enforcers to divulge information of her husband’s whereabouts is a violation of Article 18 of the Constitution. While killing and facilitating murderers remains entirely constitutional.!!!!!

Haris | 9 years ago | Reply must be coincidence that he lived in Azizabad.

John | 9 years ago | Reply Meanwhile in other news ,Hammad Siddiqui has made a hasty escape to Dubai late night after his party membership was cancelled, just like the poor Mustafa Kamal had to run for his life to Dubai. At times I feel bad for small pawns like Mustafa Kamal and Hammad Siddiqui but then I say they deserve this for being part of a fascist party in the first place. This is what happens to men who are more loyal to the king then the king himself

John | 9 years ago | Reply Every thug in Karachi happens to be from Azizabad including the Chief thug of Karachi who is sitting in the elitist location of Edgware,guess birds of a feather flock together.Everyone is happy that Dr. Imran Farooque's murder case is progressing except the Sheeples aka altaf hussain apologists.
