Today at around 10 p.m. (Pakistan Time), some unknown personnel of law enforcement agencies in plain clothes, raided the residence of Zafar, Joint Incharge of MQM Sukkur Zone and arrested him. According to details, several personnel in plain clothes, fully armed, besieged the residence of Zafar in Takkar Mohallah, Rohri. They forcibly entered into the house and resorted to brutal torture upon the family members. These personnel then arrested/abducted Zafar and have taken him to an unknown destination.
