Amjadullah Khan was the third MQM-London worker taken into custody, three after Professor Hasan Zafar Arif and Kunwar Khalid Younus were detained.
Amjadullah Khan managed to evade Rangers Personnel and enter Karachi Press Club (KPC), where he hid while his fellow committee members were taken into custody. He was picked up as he came out of the Club building.
MQM-London leader Wasay Jalils’ twitter message confirms: “Amjadullah presented himself to Rangers from Karachi Press Club”.
Sources report that Hasan Zafar Arif was also approached by Rangers and taken into custody as he tried to enter the Press Club on a motorcycle.
Rangers had been deployed outside KPC ahead of a press conference by the MQM-London interim Rabita Committee.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Imran Ismail said it was a positive step that MQM-London leaders had been taken into custody.
On October 15, during an MQM-London interim Rabita Committee news conference, a large contingent of Rangers was deployed outside the KPC. A news conference was held in which the minus-one formula was rejected. MQM-London leaders also dismissed the MQM-Pakistan, saying there was no such party. “MQM is one and will remain as one. Designs to break the party will not be successful,” Professor Hasan said on October 15.
