Soch Podcast – Dr Imran Farooq Murder Case Exposed

Host: Ali Butt
Guests: Naeem Mustafa | Kamran Faridi

In this powerful episode of Soch Podcast, we examine one of the darkest chapters in Karachi’s political history — the murder of Dr Imran Farooq, founding leader and ideological architect of MQM.

Former Mayor of Karachi and senior MQM-Pakistan leader Mustafa Kamal has accused MQM founder Altaf Hussain of ordering Dr Farooq’s killing in 2010. Kamal alleges the murder was orchestrated while Hussain was intoxicated and was carried out on his direct instructions.

Dr Imran Farooq was brutally murdered outside his London residence on 16 September 2010, when attackers assaulted him with bricks and knives after he returned from work. His killing shocked Pakistan and the UK, triggering a long investigation by Scotland Yard.

🧠 What We Discuss in This Episode:

• Who was Dr Imran Farooq and why he was considered MQM’s ideological backbone
• Mustafa Kamal’s explosive allegations against Altaf Hussain
• The London murder investigation & Scotland Yard findings
• Foreign funding & internal politics of MQM
• The role of convicted MQM workers in the killing
• How Dr Farooq’s death changed Karachi’s political landscape
• MQM’s fragmentation after 2010

⚖ Trial & Convictions

In 2020, an Anti-Terrorism Court in Islamabad sentenced Khalid Shamim, Mohsin Ali and Moazzam Ali to life imprisonment for Dr Farooq’s murder. Each was fined Rs1 million payable to his family.
British authorities had shared evidence after assurances that the accused would not face the death penalty.

Several suspects remain absconders, and investigators later confirmed political motivations behind the killing.

🕯 A Turning Point in MQM History

Dr Imran Farooq’s assassination marked the beginning of MQM’s internal collapse, splintering the party into rival factions and exposing the brutal realities behind Karachi’s political violence.
