KARACHI: Faysal Mujeeb, a White Star photographer who works for Dawn, was beaten up by Rangers personnel at the Memon Medical Hospital where the bus attack victims were brought on Wednesday morning.

Mr Mujeeb said he along with some other media persons was performing his duty inside the hospital when the Rangers asked for his camera and mobile phones. As he refused to hand them over, the personnel allegedly thrashed him.
