According to sources, Mr. Altaf Hussain was arrested with the help of a Pakistani Taxi driver, who was a trusted driver to him for many years but recently he was taken into cooperation by the Scotland Yard.
When Mr. Altaf Hussain asked the Taxi Driver to go to Heathrow Airport, the driver informed Scotland Yard and Mr. Altaf Hussain was taken into the custody on the way to Airport by the British authorities.
Altaf Hussain was the prime suspect for the murder of Dr. Imran Farooq, another founding leader of MQM. According to the sources,
He was killed on September 16, 2010 by unknown men and since then, Scotland Yard was investigating the murder with pressure and support from Pakistani agencies who wanted the murder to be revealed and the culprits to be brought into Justice.
Scotland Yard and Pakistani agency ISI has worked closely to solve the mystery of the brutal murder. On December 10, 2010, British Police has arrested one suspected murderer of Dr. Imran Farooq from Londons Camden Area. He was a 34 years old Pakistani who revealed the whole plot and further cleared the way for investigations. British authorities very soon has the information and names of the culprits and found the trail of the murder from London to Karachi. The Master mind of this murder was identified as Khalid Shamim, a well known terrorist and wanted person, a top general of Altaf Hussains militant & intelligence wing, answerable direct to him in London.
Khalid Shamim was given the task of this killing by Altaf Hussain and he appointed another man, named Hammad Siddique, who is managing All Pakistan Muttahida Student Orginization (APMSO). Both men selected two boys for the task and they were sent to UK on student visas. The man who was arrested in December 2010, received the killers in London and briefed them about the whereabouts of Dr. Imran Farooq. They killed him on September 16, 2010 near his house and left London unidentified.
Khalid Shamim has asked the both killers to go to Singapore from London and remain there until further orders. It should be noted here that these boys didnt stayed in Sri Lanka, as it is commonly being published, while they travelled from Singapore to Karachi by Sri Lankan airline that had taken a stopover in Colombo, Sri Lanka for its passengers travelling from Singapore to Karachi. Recently, when MQMs leader noticed the success of investigation and that the increased cooperation between Pakistani and British agencies, he ordered Khalid Shamim to call those two boys in Karachi and kill them. These conversations were heard and recorded by Scotland Yard and ISI was tipped off about the arrival of the boys.
Pakistani authorities has arrested the boys upon their arrival at Karachi airport and taken into custody. Within a few hours, they were interrogated and upon the information obtained from them, Pakistani Authorities has arrested Khalid Shamim and British police has conducted raids on various locations in London which these killers used as safe houses. About 35 well trained Scotland Yard officers has taken part into the operation on December 24, 2011. It is reported that Scotland Yard has raided the international secretariat of MQM in London but the management of MQM in London could not be found there. It confirms that Altaf Hussain was into hiding already and the above story is true.
Khalid Shamim and other details of investigators in Pakistan shall soon be handed over to British Authorities to prepare the case against Mr. Hussain in UK. His fate is still unknown.
