Dr Imran Farooq murder: Scotland Yard raid offices in London
Express News correspondent Naseem Siddiqui said that the London Metropolitan police raided an office on Thursday morning. Officials questioned those present in the office and also reportedly confiscated some records.
No one was arrested though.
Earlier in September, the police hinted that slain high-profile Muttahida Qaumi Movement leader, Dr Imran Farooq’s wish to actively participate in politics by pursuing his political career independently might have led to his murder.
The Metropolitan Police, also known as Scotland Yard, said that he was killed because his murderers did not want him to do so.
Appealing for an investigation, the Metropolitan police also announced a £20,000 reward for providing any information linked to his assassination.

Tribune has set a standard that other people strive to achieve. Do not lower it now. Transparency and courage, that is journalism. Give it to us straight, who's office was raided by Scotland Yard at Edgware Road in relation to Dr. Imran Farooq's murder.
In today's day and age, active silence in not only cowardice, its criminal.
Media should clarify whos office was raided in December 2012 by Scotland Yard at Edgware Road in relation to Dr. Imran Farooq's murder. Khan UK
Does this news have any connection with an earlier story of Express Tribune ? http://tribune.com.pk/story/268843/london-post-journalists-mutilated-body-found-in-lahore/

Is this report written by a 12 year old kid? "No one was arrested though." what is this? mIRC?
Even Edhi's offices are located on Edgware Road. But Express should clarify which office was exactly raided.
Independent and brave media. Just to unwear poor public. Why you get afraid from these criminals. shame on you.
