KARACHI: The Sindh Chief Minister's Adviser for Law, Murtaza Wahab, said Tuesday that special powers of Rangers to detain suspects for 90 days were no longer in effect as they had expired on June 14 this year.
Wahab said the federal government had got the law to detain suspects for 90 days passed by parliament on June 14, 2014 for two years which ended on June 14, 2016.
Under this bill, the paramilitary force had the powers to get 90-day remand of the suspect, he said.
He went on to say that the centre or the parliament had yet to pass any other bill regarding the special powers of Rangers, adding that until the new bill is passed, Rangers do not have any powers to get remand of suspects for 90 days.
The advisor also clarified that special policing powers of the paramilitary force are limited to Karachi only.
