Pakistan yet to decide handing over of Imran Farooq murder suspects to UK
ISLAMABAD: The government of Pakistan has not yet made any decision regarding handing over three suspects in its custody to the United Kingdom in connection with the murder case of MQM leader Dr Imran Farooq.
A spokesman for the interior ministry on Wednesday said that the ministry will only take a step, which is allowed by the laws of the land.
The spokesman ruled out handing over the prime suspects, Mohsin Ali Syed, Moazzam Ali and Khalid Shamim, to the UK under any administrative or executive order of the government.
Physical remand of the three suspects, which is due to expire tomorrow on Thursday, is likely to be extended by 90 days, sources told Geo News.

Mohsin Ali Syed had reportedly admitted killing the MQM leader in London during separate interrogations conducted by a Pakistani JIT and a visiting Scotland Yard team earlier this year.
Moazzam Ali, according to sources, had also named five leaders of MQM for their alleged involvement in the murder case. One of the names was that of MQM chief Altaf Hussain.
Moazzam also admitted arranging Mohsin and Kashif Khan Kamran’s travel to UK for getting the job done.
Khalid Shamim, another accused in the murder case, revealed that it was his responsibility to pick Kashif and Mohsin from the airport and shift them to a secure location.
