Intelligence agencies and police have taken former MQM-P activist Rehman alias Bhola into custody from the North Nazimabad area, police sources said on Monday.
Sources said Rehman Bhola was detained over his alleged involvement in firing at the MQM office in Bahadurabad and other cases.
Police sources claimed that he was involved in the shooting incident at the Bahadurabad centre, adding that authorities were questioning him over the allegations.
Rehman Bhola had been released a few weeks ago in connection with the Baldia factory fire case.
In September 2012, a deadly fire devoured over 250 lives at a factory situated in Karachi’s Baldia Town.
Subsequent investigations led to revelations that the factory was deliberately set ablaze over non-payment of extortion money.
