One of the prime suspects involved in the murder of MQM Imran Farooq, Mohsin Ali Syed, has had his account detailed by the driver who picked him up from Heathrow Airport. The account detailed as follows:
Mohsin was not interested in anything else or anyone when I was taking him to Tooting area to stay. All he was interested was in knowing where Mill Hill was (Mill Hill is the area where MQM founder Altaf Hussain lives and the MQM office is also located nearby. Dr Imran Farooq lived only about two miles away from Mill Hill).
He continued on to tell how they became friends and how they both started visiting each other in London and Karachi soon after.
He came three or four more times for visit. He collected me from Karachi international when I visited the city. I visited again in 2012 and Akbar requested me to visit Moazzam in a certain area from where he couldn’t leave for certain reasons. That area was 90. I saw people guarding his house with guns. I decided that that was it. During his last visit he requested me to take him to the MQM office in Edgware office where he stayed for two hours. He was shivering and sweating in cold and smoking like anything

Suspect’s Landlord, Moeenuddin Sheikh, also gave a statement regarding the suspect:
Mohsin Ali Syed was my tenant in 2010. He was working in the same shop where I worked with a different employer. He was looking for a room and he took it on rent when I offered. He provided me a copy of his passport and showed me the identity card of the college where he was studying
Soon after, Mohsin apparently disappeared, as Sheikh stated:
I tried to reach him on his phone. I rang his college and I was told he hasn’t attended the college for the past few days. I then informed police about his disappearance. The police officers visited my house.
