An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Tuesday resumed the hearing of MQM leader Imran Farooq murder case where the Defence Counsel completed the cross examination of Investigation Officer (IO) of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Shahzad Zafar in the case.
The court had already indicted three accused Khalid Shamim, Syed Mohsin Ali and Moazzam Ali in the case, while four others were declared proclaimed offenders.
Two of the suspects, Khalid Shamim and Syed Mohsin Ali, have already recorded their confessional statements before a magistrate, alleging that the slain MQM leader was killed because he was a "potent threat to the leadership of MQM".
Shamim confessed that Farooq's murder was a 'birthday gift' for the MQM founder, while Syed Mohsin stated that he took part in the crime because he was promised a position in the MQM's London Secretariat.
The ATC had already asked the government for writing a letter to UK for handing over Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founder Altaf Hussain in the Imran Farooq murder case.
Imran Farooq was murdered outside his house in London on September 16, 2010.
