KARACHI: Law enforcement agencies detained Munir Mengal, a retired officer
of the State Bank of Pakistan and aide of some Baloch leaders, at Jinnah
International Airport upon his arrival from Dubai on Tuesday morning.
An immigration official told Daily Times that Mengal had arrived by an
Emirates Airline flight. “He was leaving the immigration counter when
personnel of the law enforcement agencies whisked him away,” he said.
An Interior Ministry source told Daily Times that Mengal had applied to
the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority for licences for a
Balochi-language satellite television channel ‘Voice of Baloch’. He said
that Mengal’s name was placed on the immigration watch list .
