KARACHI: Muazzam Ali Khan, the alleged facilitator in the murder of former MQM leader Dr Imran Farooq, was presented in an anti-terrorism court in Karachi on Tuesday where an ATC judge remanded him into Rangers custody for 90 days.
Muazzam, who was arrested from Karachi's Azizabad area on Sunday, was brought to the ATC by paramilitary Rangers personnel under strict security.
Rangers officials told Geo News that they had concrete evidence that Muazzam acted as a facilitator in the murder of Dr Imran Farooq.
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had revealed the previous day that the main suspect wanted in connection with murder of the MQM leader was arrested in Karachi on Sunday.
Although the interior minister did not name the suspect, sources confirmed the individual’s identity to be Muazzam Ali Khan, who was a facilitator in Dr. Farooq’s murder and had arranged visas for the two men accused of carrying out the murder.
“He (main suspect) was responsible for arranging visas, tickets and stay in Britain of the two suspected killers of Dr Imran Farooq,” said Nisar.
