ANI chief Tariq Mehboob dies in custody
[DAWN] KARACHI: Anjuman Naujwanan-e-Islam (ANI) chief and member of Sunni Ittehad Council
...an Islamist(aren't they all in Pakistain?) political party which claims to represent the Barelvi school of Sunni Islam. Member parties of the Sunni Ittehad Council includes the Aalmi Tanzeem Ahle Sunnat of Pir Afzal Qadri (of Gujrat) and Jamiat Ulema e Pakistan - Sawad e Azam of Sayyid Mahfooz Shah Sahib Mashadi...
Tariq Mehboob died in jug on Saturday, however, it is not clear whether his death took place in Central Jail Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
or Rangers' custody.

While officials initially asserted that Mehboob died of a heart attack, his family suspects foul play and alleges that he was tortured.

Last week, Mehboob and seven others were picked up by paramilitary force personnel near Yousuf Plaza in Block 16 of Federal B area, and shifted to some holy man's guesthouse an undisclosed location for interrogation.

The ANI chief was accused of providing refuge to hit mans which is punishable under the Anti-Terrorism Act 1997.

Two days earlier, Mehboob was produced in an anti-terrorism court (ATC) which remanded him in Rangers' custody for 90 days under the Protection of Pakistain Ordinance (PPO).

However,
there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly...
a blurb issued by the Rangers said the accused was sent for 90 days Preventive Detention by ATC in Central Jail on April 16 after completing all legal formalities for further investigation.

The blurb added that he did not die in Rangers' custody and that he died in Central Jail Karachi.

After completion of legal formalities, his body was shifted to a hospital where a post mortem was conducted. The cause of his death was kept reserved.
