KARACHI:
A case was registered over the killing of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) worker Waqas Ali Shah on Thursday who died a day earlier in a raid carried out by Rangers personnel on MQM headquarters.
On Wednesday, a heavy contingent of Rangers raided Nine Zero, the headquarters of MQM, in Karachi’s Azizabad neighbourhood prompting a protest by party activists and a subsequent call for a day of “peaceful mourning” across the country.
A number of party workers, including MQM’s Rabita Committee member Amir Khan, were detained during the raid.
MQM spokesperson Wasay Jalil had alleged that Shah was killed in straight fire by Rangers personnel during the raid.
