| 2016-05-04 |
| [DAWN] Director General (DG) Rangers Major General Bilal Akber accepted that the dear departed MQM worker was tortured by Rangers in jug and vowed that strict action will be taken against those responsible for misconduct. Talking to DawnNews on Tuesday night, Akbar accepted that Aftab Ahmed was tortured during custody and the standard operating procedures were not followed by some Rangers personnel in this case. The DG Rangers assured that strict action will be taken against those responsible for this misconduct but maintained that Aftab's death had occurred due to a heart attack. The statement comes after pictures and videos were seen doing rounds on the social media, reportedly showing the corpse of the dear departed MQM worker having major torture marks across his body. Earlier in the day, a Mutahidda Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader claimed that a party member, said to be the coordinator of senior MQM leader Dr Farooq Sattar, died in the custody of Rangers. "Aftab Ahmed died during Rangers custody as he was detained for 90 days for no reason," MQM spokesperson Wasay Jalil said in a tweet. |
