According to details, The British government has offered conditional extradition of three main accused leaders of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) in the murder case of another MQM leader, Imran Farooq.

Imran Farooq was a Pakistani politician who was known for his association with the MQM, a political party in Pakistan. He was murdered outside his home in north London in September 2010.

Sources said Pakistan Interior ministry had given a dossier to a delegation of UK Home Department visiting Pakistan last year in which Pakistan had demanded extradition of the three main culprits of Imran Farooq murder case, reported Pakistan Today.
