Have nothing to do with Zardari’s friend going missing, Rangers tell SHC

The Sindh High Court was on Friday informed by the Rangers that the
paramilitary force had nothing to do with the disappearance of Ghulam Qadir Marri, a close associate of former president and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, and three other men who went missing along with him. 

A two-judge bench headed by Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui was hearing the petition by Ismail Marri, brother of Qadir Marri, for the recovery of his brother and the three others – Khan Mohammad, Mehboob Khaskheli and Javed Rahmo – who have been missing since Qadir’s vehicle was found abandoned near a thermal power station in Jamshoro while returning from Naudero.

In a reply submitted to the court, the Rangers maintained that Marri and his associates were neither arrested by the paramilitary force, nor were they in their custody. 

The newly-appointed case investigation officer told the court that he had just been assigned the case and was working to gather further details. 

The court adjourned the hearing with orders to the authorities concerned to make all out efforts to recover the missing persons at the earliest.
