A team from London Metropolitan Police (Scotland Yard) arrived here on Saturday in connection with the investigation of the murder of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Dr Imran Farooq.
The Interior Ministry had requested that a British team visit Pakistan and assist in an ongoing investigation into the murder case underway in Pakistan. The team is scheduled to start its investigation from Monday and will carry out its operations under high security.
Earlier this week, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had said that the suspects said to be linked to the murder of Dr Farooq would be brought to Islamabad where British authorities would question them in the coming days.
He had said that a two-member team of the Met Police would arrive in the capital by the end of the week, adding that the size of the team may be increased.
In April this year, the interior minister had announced the arrest of Moazzam Ali, a man from Karachi whom he had described as the primary suspect in Dr Farooq’s murder case.
Last week two men identified as Mohsin Ali and Khalid Shamim wanted in the murder case of Dr Farooq were said to have been taken in custody from near the Pak-Afghan border in Chaman.
