Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Sindh Director Shahid Hayat reached the residence of former Karachi nazim Mustafa Kamal over allegations that the MQM received funds from the Indian intelligence agency RAW.

Shahid Hayat will record statement of Mustafa Kamal and former MQM leader Dr Sagheer Ahmad in next 24 hours.

The FIA formally reached out to former MQM donor Sarfaraz Merchant and former Karachi nazim Mustafa Kamal.

Shahid Hayat established contact with Mustafa Kamal in Karachi to seek his cooperation.

Days before the start of high-profile desertions from the MQM, Sarfaraz Merchant had claimed that a list of weapons had been recovered from the house of Altaf Hussain in London and that the party was receiving funding from Indian sources.

Kamal, who came to limelight after he became nazim of Karachi in 2005, developed quite a reputation for his efforts to improve public service delivery in the city.

He settled in Dubai in 2013 after reportedly developing differences with MQM chief Altaf Hussain. He re-entered the spotlight last week when he spoke against the MQM leader at a press conference and accused him of being an Indian agent.

Merchant had offered to assist the government in the investigations into allegations that the MQM had monetary support from the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).

Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had formed an FIA committee to investigate these allegations.
