LAHORE: Suspects in the murder case of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) MNA Tahira Asif were identified on Tuesday, Express News reported.


Commenting on the latest development in this high profile case, SP CIA Umer Virksaid said Asif’s daughter and driver identified the alleged killers as Imran and Kamran.

Asif was shot and injured while resisting an apparent robbery attempt in the Iqbal Town neighbourhood in June this year. She later succumbed to her injuries. MQM chief Altaf Hussain had termed her murder as an act of target killing and demanded that the government should arrest the killers of Asif within three days.

The case was classified as a high profile one in which four individuals were initially arrested, however, two were released due to lack of sufficient evidence.

@SHN: Has there ever been a politician from Karachi who contested on national level? If no, you just cannot give a generalized statement that a politician from Karachi gets murdered in Lahore simply because he is from Karachi. I'm Urdu-speaking and belong to a family that migrated from Delhi but the statement is a total misfit here and, sorry to say but, extremely offensive.
