NAWABSHAH: Police on Tuesday booked seven suspects, including a member of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) zonal committee, for killing a Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz (JSQM) activist, Manzoor Channa.

Qurban Ali Channa, the brother-in-law of the victim, lodged an FIR (12/2014) at the Airport police station nominating MQM activist Farhan Ali Shaikh, Fayyaz Rangar, Liaqat Arain, Murtaza Rangar, Asad Rangar and two unknown suspects. The complainant stated in the FIR that the suspects opened fire on Manzoor Channa killing him on March 21. The MQM district chapter has strongly condemned the registration of the FIR against Farhan Shaikh.

Manzoor Channa was killed and another activist was injured in firing on the participants of a JSQM rally taken out on March 21 to protest murder of two party leaders, whose charred bodies were found in a burnt-out car near Bhiriya City the same day.
