ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) plans to write a letter to Interpol on Monday, asking for the issuance of a red warrant against Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Altaf Hussain.
Sources said on Monday that a reference from the Sindh Home Ministry would also be sent to Interpol in this regard.
The red warrants are being issued on the directions of an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in the provincial capital.
The court ordered for Altaf Hussain to be presented in front of them after he has been arrested through Interpol.
Altaf is the main suspect in last year’s arson incident in Karachi.
Subsequent to the issuance of the red warrant, Interpol would arrest the suspect and inform the FIA.
Sindh police and FIA will reportedly depart for the UK for the purpose of extraditing the MQM chief.
