SHC directs LEAs to locate missing KWSB employee

Karachi: The Sindh High Court on Friday directed the police and other law enforcement agencies to trace out the whereabouts of a missing employee of the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board, who had been linked with masterminding the assassination of Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s leader Dr. Imran Farooq on September 16, 2010, in London.

The court was hearing the petition of Ms. Beena Khalid, who submitted that her husband Khalid Shahmim, 37, an accounts officer of KWSB, was taken away by the law enforcement agencies from Malir Halt area on January 6 last year and his whereabouts were not known then since.

Federal and provincial law enforcement agencies, however, denied arresting or detaining Khalid Shamim and the police officers investigating the case said that efforts were being made to recover the detainee and in this regard joint investigation team had been constituted which was looking into the matter.

During the pendency of the petition, petitioner’s counsel filed another miscellaneous application before the court in September last year, submitting that as per media reports the petitioner’s spouse was taken into custody by the law enforcement agencies at the Karachi airport in August 2011 along with other suspects in connection with the assassination of MQM leader Imran Farooq in London, while the LEAs were not disclosing the whereabouts of the detainee.

He placed on record the transcript of news telecasts on electronic media which suggested that the petitioner’s husband was picked up by the federal law enforcement agencies and he was still in their custody for the purpose of extracting certain sensitive information regarding his involvement in the crime committed in London.

The police submitted in their progress report that the petitioner’s spouse belonged to Muttahida Qaumi Movement and he used to frequently travel abroad during the last couple of years and he was involved in a murder case registered by the Model Colony police station. The report stated that no confirmation was made regarding the arrest of the detainee as per the media reports and efforts were being made to recover the petitioner’s spouse.


After perusing the investigation report, SHC’s division bench headed by Justice Mohammad Tasnim observed that no progress was made for the recovery of the detainee, and directed the police and other law enforcement agencies to expedite efforts to trace out the whereabouts of the detainee and produce him before the court at earliest.

A little background on alleged killers arrest in Pakistan

4 September 2011

The plot

Sources further revealed that Khalid Shamim was given the task of killing Dr Farooq in London. He sought help from a man named Hammad Siddiqi, who provided him with two boys as his accomplices. Shamim is said to have arranged student visas for the boys.

Upon their arrival in London, sources added, the boys were briefed about Dr Farooq’s routine by an unidentified man. Dr Farooq was murdered by the boys close to his house, sources said. Sources added that following the murder, the boys left for Colombo instead of coming back to Pakistan to mislead investigators.

After reaching Colombo, they allegedly contacted Shamim, who ordered them to come back to Pakistan. A non-civilian secret agency recorded all the conversations between Shamim and the boys. According to sources, Shamim had planned to murder the boys upon their arrival in Karachi.

Confession

The agencies detained the boys when they reached Karachi from Colombo and were made to listen to all the recordings of their conversations. According to sources, after listening to the recordings, they themselves confessed to the murder in the presence of the non-civilian intelligence agency personnel. Although Shamim presented the facts in a different context, statements of all three of the accused proved comparable at the end, sources familiar with the matter further revealed.

After thorough interrogation and extracting complete information, the inquiring agency’s provincial (Sindh) chapter sent a detailed report to its headquarters. After getting approval, the culprits were handed over to the LEAs last month for registration of criminal cases and prosecution.

Meanwhile, increased visits and meetings of UK officials, particularly intelligence liaison officers, police liaison officers, as well as undercover officials of UK intelligence agencies have been observed by the FIA headquarters in Islamabad during August.

Investigators stumble on Hakim Said murder clues – The Express Tribune


Hmmmm,,,, one wonders, if it was PPP or Agencies in karachi who gave order to kill Imran farooqi in london.:disagree::disagree:

Azeem Tariq killed after his conflicts with Altaf hussain

Imran Farooqi killed after his conflicts with Altaf hussain

and a long list of other founding members who were murdered in 90's. Afaq Ahmad apologized so he was spared.

for how long jamaatis and naya jamaat islami keep blaming MQM was the murder of its own leaders?
 
To understand power struggles inside MQM which is related to such killings. An old article but worth reading

The Power Games in MQM (by Nadia Khan)


clear.cache.gif



As per February 14th 2009 reports that MQM has expelled Saleem Shahzad and Mohammed Anwar due to their secrete activities, indicate that something is being hidden behind the scene.

Anwar was charged that he had failed to defend MQM in one of recent Dr Shahdid Masood, Maray Mutabiq program. Though officially denied but inside sources confirmed that ‘there’s another power game going on in MQM.’

Mutahidda Qoumi Movement (MQM) is always in power games soon after winning its first election in 1988. After 1992 army operation then it has seen much turbulence, when a major faction of its leaders decided to disregard Altaf Hussain’s dictatorial policies those lead the whole Muhajir Community in chaos. During that the city of Karachi had witness moments when Muhajir community garlanded the photographs of Altaf Hussain with shoes, everyone was spitting on it and so on. Takbeer, an Urdu weekly magazine, was publishing the stories of innocent Muhajir girls, victimised emotionally & physically by Muhajir Qoumi movement hard core activists.

Altaf Hussain, with the help of the then Chief Minister of Sind, Jam Sadiq Ali, who had arranged him to fly to Saudi Arabia and then to United Kingdom, had left Karachi, probably for ever. While going abroad, when Altaf Hussain was asked by a journalist as “when he will return back,” the close by standing US consular general had said categorically that, 'he will return as the Viceroy of Karachi,' indicated hidden foreign agenda and their vested motives.

Power game is always there in MQM, when its late chairman, Azeem Tariq protested against Altaf Husain’s policies and decided to lead MQM without him. He was mysteriously killed in his own house “on May 1, 1993 Azeem Ahmed Tariq was assassinated, just a few days after he addressed a press conference where he made statements against Altaf. But it is still a mystery who was actually behind his killing. The three suspects, who were arrested for the murder, were also killed after they were released on bail” writes Mazher Abbas. Though the killer was produced on to Pakistan Television (PTV) by Interior Minister of Benazir Govt, Naseerullah Baber, later he had made free on bail with the help of Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqi's, the member of National Assembly & APMSO chairman, govt record confirms.

Then, Altaf Hussain brought forward, an elderly Senator Ishtiq Azher to help regain strength which was partially taken over by MQM (Haqiqi) lead by Afaq Ahmed and Aamir Khan under the patronage of intelligence agencies. Ishtiq Azher had done a great job and sidelined Haqiqi group, regaining Altaf Hussein’s lost power in Karachi/Hyderabad. He was removed from the convener ship of MQM Coordination Committee probably due to a fear that he might take up Altaf Hussain's position, later he was implicated in a fake case of US visas selling.

Later, Ajmal Dehlvi, clad in while Kurta-Payjama with red mouth due to Pan, an editor of daily Aman, who used to write slain Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi as Shaheed, took the charge of Rabita Committee and tried to defuse 'killing' between MQM rival groups and govt agencies. He was successful in opening a dialog with then Govt and militarily authorities. Suddenly he was side lined for unknown reasons.

Sheikh Liaquat Hussain, father of famous MQM (A) activist, Aamir Liquat Hussain, took the charge and brought back MQM to its level, where Altaf Hussain became indispensable and mandatory for its existence. He was moved back again though his son had made his way in MQM by achieving National Assembly seat and minister ship. After that Dr Farooq Sattar, a soft spoken spokesperson of MQM took the charge and tried to gain Altaf Hussain’s confidence.

Current turmoil in MQM is last few days, erupted in the form of expulsion of hardcore activist from Karachi & NED universities including UK based Dr Imran Farooq, once welcomed by Altaf Hussain with open hands, and Saleem Shahzad, a man who was behind most brutal killings in Karachi and Hyderabad, reconfirm that MQM(A) is about to be split. Imran Farooq since his arrival in UK wanted to run the party as per his wishes, likely in conjunction with intelligence agencies who had orchestrated his departure from Lahore airport years before. Ultimately, he wanted to gain the highest position in party as Altaf Hussain had never sacrificed the way his workers had. “Who can tolerate this?” says the political secretary of Altaf Hussain in his private meetings.

It’s strange that anyone who disagrees with MQM founder, mysteriously killed or implicated in irregularities. Either it is Khalid Bin Walids’, former special envoy of Water Board Karachi, killing over skin-money dispute or it is Syed Safwan Ullah, former housing minister, who had made gross financial fraud in housing sector especially in Karachi , not willing to speak about these cases or against MQM’s top command.
