Altaf Hussain shifted to police station

LONDON: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain has been moved to the police station from hospital, Geo News reported.

A London Metropolitan Police statement said the 60-year-old man arrested on Tuesday, 3 June in connection with a money laundering investigation has now been returned to a police station from hospital.

The release back to detention was agreed after consultation with the hospital responsible for assessing his medical condition.




The Scotland Yard told Geo News earlier, that the time which Altaf spent in the hospital would not be included in the detention period.

They said Altaf was arrested on Tuesday but he remained in the police station for a little time, therefore, 72-hour detention law would not be applicable on him.

The detention period would begin again when the MQM chief returned to the police station from hospital.
