Faisal Raza Abidi detained in Karachi

KARACHI:  Law enforcement agencies detained former Senator Faisal Raza Abidi in Karachi late on Friday.

Police and Rangers took the ex-Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader into custody from his house in Rizvia Society.

After that he has been shifted to an undisclosed location for questioning.

The development comes hours after five members of Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWJ), including two prayer leaders, were shot and killed in three separate shooting incidents in Karachi.

Once a close confidant of former President Asif Ali Zardari, Abidi resigned from Senate and as PPP’s Karachi president in 2012 and 2013 respectively, after developing differences with the party leadership.
