MQM leader Nasreen Jalil, while speaking to the media, said Adil was arrested from his house, tortured in police custody and released in a very bad condition.

The MQM leader claimed that 11 of the party members have become victims of extra-judicial killings while 45 others were arrested illegally and are now missing.
In the petition, Jalil called for compensation for the families of the victimised MQM members and supporters.
