DUBAI Nov 06 (TNS):<\/strong> Hammad Siddiqui, the prime accused in Baldia factory inferno case, was an employee of a general trading company in Dubai, local sources revealed.<\/p>\n

The wanted suspect in a number of heinous crimes, Siddiqui holds marketing manager visa from Al Takatuf General Trading (LLC) since 2014.<\/p>\n

He moved to Dubai at the end of 2013 after his membership was suspended for violating party discipline. Siddiqui was previously in-charge of the Karachi Tanzeemi Committee (KTC) of the MQM.<\/p>\n

The documents obtained confirm that Siddiqui has been living in the emirates on permanent visa. His name Hammad Siddiqui Masih ul Haq Siddiqui was mentioned on the visa<\/p>\n

He was arrested by Interpol in late October, by Dubai police in coordination with Pakistan authorities.<\/p>\n

Sources also claimed that a lady named M Khan was also detained with Siddiqui in Dubai.<\/p>\n

It was informed by different reliable sources that the relation between M Khan and Siddiqui was under interrogation by the authorities of both the countries.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the legal process to get the custody of suspect Siddiqui is getting momentum in Dubai.<\/p>\n

Sources in Pakistan Consulate in Dubai expressed hope that Siddiqui would be transferred to Pakistan very soon but declined to commit a timeframe for handover.<\/p>\n

An anti-terrorism court (ATC) had last year ordered Pakistani authorities to get the accused arrested through Interpol. The Ministry of Interior, acting on the court orders, had also issued a red warrant for Siddiqui.<\/p>\n

In Dec 2016, another key accused in the Baldia factory fire case, Abdul Rahman alias Bhola, was arrested from Bangkok, Thailand, by the Interpol.<\/p>\n

The key suspect behind Pakistan’s deadliest industrial fire had confessed that he deliberately set fire to Ali Enterprise on the instructions of MQM leader Siddiqui.<\/p>\n

Bhola had revealed that the MQM leader instructed him to set fire to the factory in the vicinity of Baldia Town Karachi because of non-payment of Rs250 million ‘bhatta (protection money)’.<\/p>\n

He had claimed the intent behind the arson attack was only to intimidate owners of the factory, and he didn\u2019t anticipate that his act would result in the loss of lives.<\/p>\n
