Qamar Mansoor sent on transit remand

Islamabad - The MQM leader was arrested along with fellow Rabita Committee member Kaiful Wara in a pre-dawn raid on the party's 'Nine Zero' headquarters on Friday

A local court in Karachi on Monday sent Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Qamar Mansoor into Rangers custody on transit remand.
The MQM leader was arrested along with fellow Rabita Committee member Kaiful Wara in a pre-dawn raid on the party's 'Nine Zero' headquarters on Friday on charges of 'arranging and facilitating' hate speeches against the security establishment.
Kaiful Wara was later released on the assurance that he would report to the Rangers after Eid.
Presenting Mansoor in the court of the Judicial Magistrate Central, Rangers officials requested for transit remand of the suspect. The court approved the request and remanded him into Rangers custody.
Rangers officials said a case has been lodged against the MQM Rabita Committee member under anti-terrorism laws. They said the suspect would be presented before an anti-terrorism court after Eid holidays to obtain a 90-day remand.
