Mohammed Kashif alias David, an activist of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, confessed to killing several people including leaders of political parties.
A Rangers spokesperson said in Karachi that an anti-terrorism court had endorsed the 90-day preventive detention of Kashif, who was arrested a day earlier.
During interrogation, he confessed to killing 30 people including a police official, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Zohair Akram Nadeem and Bihari Qaumi Movement leader Aftab Malik.
He was a member of notorious target killer Ajmal Pahari's gang in 1995. He also confessed to operating a target killing team since 2005 on the directives of his political party.
However, the MQM had rejected the Rangers' claim that Kashif was arrested in a raid in Azizabad, saying it was a blatant lie because he was arrested in Dubai last year.
MQM leader Kunwar Naveed Jamil had told a Press conference that Kashif was in the custody of the law-enforcement agencies since his arrest in 2015.
Meanwhile, an under custody MQM worker, Khalid Shamim, claimed that MQM chief Altaf Hussain was involved in the Imran Farooq murder case.
Khalid Shamim is being investigated for his links to the Imran Farooq murder case. He alleged in a video confession aired on Geo TV that Altaf Hussain was involved in the Imran Farooq murder case. When Farooq's body was brought back to Pakistan, he (Altaf) said, "the job has been done well".
He also claimed that Altaf Hussain was uncomfortable with the popularity of the then Karachi mayor Mustafa Kamal.
The MQM chief considered Kamal his competitor. "He felt threatened by Mustafa Kamal," claimed Shamim.

Shamim who appeared in good health but with slightly slurred speech said that Altaf Hussain had also threatened Mustafa Kamal.
Shamim advised members of the MQM coordination committee to remain bipartisan till the Imran Farooq murder case is solved.
As an after-warning he added, "I am at war with Altaf Hussain and Mohammed Anwar". - news@khaleejtimes.com
The news of his arrest had not been aired on the electronic media, but many newspapers had published stories last year, he added.
Jamil said Kashif's family had been in touch with the law-enforcement agencies and contacted the relevant quarters in Dubai and Pakistan for his recovery. - news@khaleejtimes.com
On Tuesday, on the basis of the information retrieved from Kashif, the paramilitary force had raided a house in Azizabad and found a huge cache of weapons.
The weapons included Kalashnikovs, light machine guns, RPG-7s, rocket launchers, hundreds of bullets, and explosive material. Rangers uniforms were also found there.
