On Thursday, four MQM activists were killed in an encounter near the Northern Bypass after which the MQM called for shutter down strike in the city.
Later, the MQM held a press conference in which it announced that the suspects belonged to the party and they were killed in an ‘extrajudicial’ manner. However, Rangers officials termed the claims ‘baseless propaganda’ and labelled the party’s allegations an attempt to mislead everyone.
