ATC issues non-bailable arrest warrant for MQM chief in Shahid Hamid murder case

KARACHI: An anti-terrorism court issued non bailable arrest warrants for Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain in former Managing Director Karachi Electric Supply Corporation Shahid Hamid’s murder case.

The court issued non-bailable arrest warrants for three other MQM leaders Nadeem Nusrat, Athar and Sohail Zaidi.

The court said that the four accused are at large. It is unlikely that another accused Rashid Akhtar will ever be arrested, the court added.

Accused Minhaj Qazi appeared in court today. It expected that he will be indicted for the murder.

Earlier a confession video of Minhaj Qazi, who was the MQM headquarter’s security in charge was leaked to the media.

An MQM worker Saulat Mirza was been hanged to death for the murder last year.

Shahid Hamid, his driver and guard, were gunned down by four men outside his residence in July 1997.
