A petition, seeking Interpol's assistance to bring Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain to Pakistan, was filed in Supreme Court Lahore Registry on Tuesday.

The petition, filed by Barrister Zafarullah, was moved in the wake of target killer Saulat Mirza's confessional video in which he alleged that Altaf had ordered the murder of former managing director of Karachi Electric Supply Corporation Shahid Hamid along with his driver Ashraf Brohi and guard Akbar Khan in July 1997.

The application further called for removing Governor Sindh Ishratul Ebad from his post while the allegations are probed as well putting names of MQM leaders mentioned in Mirza's video on the Exit Control List.

In his confessional video, Mirza had accused Sindh governor of providing protection to criminals and party workers in police stations and that he received the order for killing KESC chief at MQM leader Babar Ghauri’s residence.

sabi | 9 years ago | Reply The petitioner is none other than a Barrister who doesn't know basics for testifying in courts.A proven criminal allegations against someone have zero value in the eyes of the law.No wonder why justice is being butchered on daily basis.Cheap publicity. Petition dismissed.
