London police commisioner Bernard Hogan-Howe has confirmed that two alleged killers of MQMs leader Dr Imran Farooq were arrested in Karachi.
The Police Commissioner has been quoted by a London-based newspaper stating that the killers would not be allowed to roam freely on the streets of London.
He also said that London Police is working with Pakistan in Dr Imran Farooqs murder case.
Imran Farooq, who was a prominent MQM leader, was killed last year on September 16, outside his residence in London.
The two suspects were reportedly arrested from the Karachi Airport at least two months ago but Pakistani police never confirmed their arrest.
The arrest of the suspects has finally been confirmed by the British police today.
In August this year, the MQM had urged the media to refrain from spreading unfounded speculations about arrests made in Dr Imran Farooqs murder case.
A statement issued by MQMs coordination committee said that news reports on two people being arrested at the Karachi airport were devoid of truth, baseless and concocted.
The committee said that the purpose behind these fabricated and malicious reports was nothing but to tarnish the image of the MQM and damage its reputation.
Background
Dr Farooq, one of the founding members of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement and its forerunner the All Pakistan Muhajir Student Organisation (APMSO) was born in June 14, 1960.
The veteran MQM leader held several posts in the MQM, serving as its first secretary-general and convener, besides being elected to the National Assembly and the partys parliamentary leader in 1988 and 1990. He was regarded as one of the partys main ideologues, responsible for the political education of its supporters. After the Nawaz Sharif-led government launched a crackdown on MQM in 1992, Dr Farooq, like other party leaders, went into hiding. Later, he escaped to England in 1999, claiming political asylum there. He got married in 2004. Dr Farooq, 50, is believed to have been attacked on his way home in Green Lane, Edgware.
