Two other nationalist activists Sajjad Chana and Saddam Lakhir were forcibly disappearedfrom Karachi Johar Police Station, but later their arrest was shown from Jhampiro Wind Power area two days ago. The arrest of Tariq Somro, a victim of enforced disappearance was also orchestrated on Tuesday today) at Hyderabad G.O.R Police Station, based on false charges, the spokesperson said.
