British police offered a reward of £20,000 on Thursday for information about the murder of Imran Farooq in London one year ago. The founding member of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), was attacked as he returned home from work on Sept 16, 2010. A post-mortem found he had died from multiple stab wounds and blunt trauma to the head.
“We still believe there are people out there who hold vital information that could assist the investigation and have not yet come forward,”said Detective Chief Superintendent Neil Basu of London’s Metropolitan Police.
Police said they believe the attack would have required careful planning and Farooq’s killers may have had help,
including from innocent people.

only £20,000!!!!! No one is going to put their life in danger for that. If it was £20,000,000 then you are talking.
Reward money is offered when Police fails to solve the mystery.
In this case the Scotland Yard Police fails to solve the mystery even after a lapse of 365 days.
If some one has not come up so far, who will come forward after the Scotland Yard has offered reward money of GBP 20,000?
Imran Farooq’s murder case seems to be a case of personal enmity and nothing else.
Why one should go and kill Imran Farooq, unless the killer(s) has some thing to do with Imran Farooq?
Time has come to hire the services of James Bond 007 to solve the mystery. Probably James Bond 007 can solve the mystery alone if he is been offered GBP 20,000 for his services, a fully loaded automatic weapon and a bullet proof car to travel.
Where are all Media person .. Why they don't ask about for yellow journalism of London Post and Waqt news ...
What ............? Zulfiqar Mirza is still waiting ? Why doesnt he "reveal"the "names" of the killers ( as he bragged he knew) and claim the 20 k pound sterlings.Time for some "honest" earning apart from the SUGAR mills of Sakrand, ZM.
Im really dissapointed at the scotland yard for not finding the killers or reaching the conclusion yet because they have a high reputation and if they cant do their job thgen who can...
and do you really think some one will come forward and get away with it alive ? lol
Can some one comment what deal British Govt. had with the killers to keep their identity secret ? killers can get away in Karachi but definitely not in London without the complicity of UK Govt.
