MQM worker arrested just before his wedding
KARACHI: Nuptial celebrations turned into dismal agitations on Saturday night when law enforcement agents led a bridegroom away in handcuffs for his alleged involvement in violent criminal activities just before his wedding, Media reported
Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) worker, Fahad Aziz, a resident of Korangi, was reportedly arrested while he was leading his Baraat (wedding motorcade) towards a Shah Faisal Colony marriage lawn, where he was to wed his bride.
Sources said that Aziz’s wedding motorcade was intercepted on Shah Faisal Colony Bridge by law enforcers, who forced the festooned bridegroom out his car and took him away to an unknown location.
On the other hand the family members say Aziz is innocent.
The family members also alleged that the masked law enforcement agents had demanded Rs2 million to set Fahad before detaining Fahad, but eventually took him away.
The family members along with all the wedding guests staged a protest outside Karachi Press Club against this alleged injustice.
“This is tragic. It is not the way. It was his marriage. He got locked up before the wedlock”, said another relative.
An MQM statement, which came on the heels of Aziz’s arrest, vehemently condemned it.
“This is a blatant case of political victimization. Aziz was persecuted for his association with MQM”, the statement said.
The statement added that Aziz was also a nominated MQM candidate for the upcoming local bodies' elections.
