ISLAMABAD: In an important development in MQM leader Imran Farooq’s murder case, the Interior Ministry Friday approved a request by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for issuance of red warrants against three suspects.
Following the approval, FIA will contact the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) to send out red warrants for three prominent MQM-London members Anwar Hussain, Iftikhar Hussain and Kashif Khan Kamran.
The FIA will also contact the Interpol headquarter in France to ask for assistance in the ongoing murder investigation.
According to the approval notice, , the FIA has been requested to carry out an in-depth scrutiny of the documents so as to gauge its legal and technical strength, before filing an application for issuance of red notice with the Interpol.
The agency has been directed to ensure the arrest of the three suspects and have them brought back to Pakistan as soon as the warrants are issued.
Earlier this month, an anti-terrorism court had issued non bailable arrest warrants of MQM founder Altaf Hussain during a hearing of Farooq’s murder case.
