British media revealed the names of the two suspects involved in the murder of Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s (MQM) leader Dr Imran Farooq.

The report said that based on the documents received from Pakistani officials the two suspects were identified, for the first time, by the names of Mohsin Ali Syed and Muhammad Kashif Khan, who were staying on student visa in England.

The report added that the British Crown Prosecution Service had officially asked Pakistani authorities to search for the two most wanted suspects in the killing of MQM leader Dr Imran Farooq.

The Pakistani suspects reportedly boarded a plane to Sri Lanka from London’s Heathrow airport on the same day the MQM leader was killed.

It was alleged that Kashif Khan had come to England just days before the murder of Dr Farooq.

Also, both suspects had enrolled in a college namely London Academy of Management Sciences situated in east London.

Moreover, the British home office said it was currently not holding any investigations against the college.

The report further said that the visa forms of the two suspects were verified by a Karachi-based businessman named Moazzam Ali Khan, who allegedly had remained in continuous contact during 2010 with the 52-year old suspect Iftikhar Husain, a British citizen of Pakistani origin, arrested by London police in 2013.

Hussain’s arrest was the first carried out by London police in relation to Dr Farooq’s killing.

MQM leader Dr Imran Farooq, aged 50, was on his way home from work when he was attacked in Green Lane on Sept 16, 2010 outside his London home. A post-mortem examination found that he died from multiple stab wounds and blunt trauma to the head.

  1. I think the time has come and Altaf has to face the outcome of what he has been doing with the people of Karachi for the last three decades. I posted similar comment on Express Tribune an hour ago which was liked by many viewers, however, the comment as well similar comments not in favour of MQM have just been removed. Perhaps this is yet an other evidence of what kind of policits MQM is doing in Karachi.
