ISLAMABAD: A delegation of the Scotland Yard team, which is in Pakistan to investigate the murder of Dr Imran Farooq, met with the suspects of the case on Wednesday.

According to details, the Scotland Yard team met with the suspects of the Imran Farooq murder in jail today and spoke to them regarding their confessional statements. Sources also disclosed that the Scotland Yard team will also review the bank statements of the suspects.

The Scotland Yard team is also likely to share important details of the case with the Pakistani Joint Investigation Team (JIT). The Scotland Yard team had arrived in Islamabad on Sunday morning and met with Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Director (Sindh) Shahid Hayat and discussed money laundering case against MQM and other matters with him.

Dr Imran was murdered on September 16, 2010 in London outside his home in London. A subsequent investigation of the murder revealed that a knife and a brick had been used to murder the self-exiled Muttahida Qaumi Movement leader.

Dr Imran was a close confidant of MQM chief Altaf Hussain and a senior leader of the MQM when he fled the country in 1992, after an operation had been launched against the party by security forces. He was living in North London after claiming political asylum and had reportedly become an inactive member of MQM.
