Twist in Imran Farooq killing case as lawyer says suspect wasn’t deported


ISLAMABAD: A British lawyer assisting the Pakistani government in the Dr Imran Farooq murder case on Thursday ‘disowned’ part of the testimony of a prosecution witness regarding deportation of a suspect, Mohsin Ali, saying the British Home Office had all the record of the suspect’s entry and exit and that he had never been deported to Pakistan by the British authorities.

British lawyer Toby Cadman argued before the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) of Islamabad that the information of Sheikh Moinuddin, a prosecution witness of the UK police, regarding Mohsin’s deportation was based on hearsay.

A day earlier, Moinuddin, while testifying before ATC judge Shahrukh Arjumand, said that a lady officer of the UK police had informed him that Mohsin had been deported to Pakistan.

On Thursday, Mr Cadman informed the court that the Home Office of the United Kingdom had the entire record of Mohsin’s entry and exit from the UK. He said that the UK police never took the suspect into custody and he left the country on his own.
