While the London Metropolitan Police has disowned an alleged confessional statement by Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) senior leader Tariq Mir, saying “the document was not part of the police record”, a separate document of the London Police confirms the police having interviewed Mir three years ago in which he had ‘revealed’ the party’s Indian connection.
In a clarification via email, Alan Crockford of the London Metropolitan Police told BBC Urdu that documents suggesting a senior MQM leader had disclosed the party’s alleged links to India’s spy agency RAW during an interview with British authorities are not property of the London Metropolitan Police.
Crockford wrote that after carefully investigating the media reports in Pakistan pertaining to Tariq Mir’s confession, the police can confirm that no such documents are part of its record.
However, a purported London Police transcript being circulated in the social media of an interview of a MQM member, reveals that the Scotland Yard had interviewed Tariq Mir and another MQM leader Muhammad Anwar in 2012 “in relation to a separate investigation”.
Per the documented brief, carrying London Metropolitan Police’s mark, titled “Pre Interview Briefing” of Sarfaraz Anwar Merchant, dated April 15, 2015, conducted at Belgravia Police Station in presence of officers DC Stuart Mathews and DC Stephen Waterworth, “Interviews under caution were conducted with Tariq MIR and Mohammad ANWAR in 2012 in relation to a separate investigation. During the interviews both Mr MIR and Mr ANWAR stated that MQM was receiving funding from the Indian government.”
This April 2015 brief, which cites the presence of Mir’s confession with London Police, is primarily a pre-interview briefing of Merchant who was “arrested on December 5, 2013 on money laundering charges in relation to investigation being conducted into funds held or controlled by MQM”.
Furthermore, the document cites the case background as follows: “Large amounts of cash have been seized from premises associated with the MQM and a significant amount of assets have been identified in the United Kingdom. All of the cash and assets are believed to represent funds provided to MQM by the Indian government or other unlawful activity.”
“There is evidence that Mr HUSSAIN and members of the MQM have breached Pakistani Electoral legislation in as much as they have received ‘prohibited’ funds from the Indian government. This also constitutes breaches of criminal offenses under Pakistan and UK legislation thereby making the cash and assets criminal property,” the document adds.
WHAT LONDON POLICE DISOWNS:
On Friday, documents purported to be property of the London police surfaced on social media, suggesting that MQM’s Tariq Mir had confessed in an interview that his party had New Delhi’s support and that Altaf Hussain received funding from India.
In the purported testimony of MQM leader Mir, which were ‘leaded’ online, it had been alleged that the MQM had been receiving funds from the Indian government since 1994 with only four top leaders kept in the loop.
The alleged statement lends credence to the BBC report published on June 24 about two MQM leaders telling the British authorities about the MQM-RAW nexus.
“Mr H was getting money from India. H got his money from different sources [blocked text],” the document reads.
Mir allegedly spoke to London police at the Edgware police station in May 2012, the document says, adding that he “attended voluntarily and was not under arrest”.
“The Indian government supported us because they thought it was good to support us [blocked text]. I don’t remember when I first met the Indians. I did meet them,” it reads, quoting an individual TM, believed to be Mir.
Three pages of text, some of it censored with what appears to be black ink, sent shockwaves across the country just days after a startling BBC report had made similar allegations citing an “authoritative Pakistani source.”
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had directed the Interior Ministry to thoroughly investigate the claims made in the BBC report pertaining to the MQM receiving funding from India, and sought an early report in this regard.
Federal Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan had also held a meeting with British High Commissioner Philip Barton and has formally written to the UK government requesting Pakistani authorities’ access to key information in relation to the serious allegations leveled by the BBC against MQM.
The London Metropolitan Police spokesman could not be reached for a comment.

Pick your side. A statement from police official claiming the document is not official - and later on release of an official document, with date, names of police officials and clear statement of MQM and Indian funding. What is your pick out of the two?
MQM goons and terrorists are not going to accept that, it is their problem but are you me and countrymen completely out of brains? Can we not see where is rationality standing?
Met Police said After Examining the Doc. they have come to conclusion that it doesnt belong to them. I dont think they can Examined Leaked Document without seeing its Content or can they????
I got my Fingers Crossed here so I wont Value a Credibility of Leaked Document against Official Sources here. I am all for Wait and Watch when Met Police investigation comes to its final conclusion so that they can Release all Documents Officially with Lot more Details. Until then no point of beating a bushes that are already burned.Pick your side.

Buddy they Said that after EXAMINING it and I dont think they were looking for Traces of Letterhead only when they said EXAMINE. On the other hand how many Investigation Reports of Concluded Cases would have been available to Journos and were even Viral so anyone can ENGINEER the signatures and Letter Heads as well. Its the matter of TRUSTING the Investigation and let it take its final Course rather then Pulling dirt and keep defending it till it got Screwed.Don't confuse the two, "document doesn't belong to them" was the first statement and that was rightfully so as it wasn't on official letter-head. In response to this denial, this second document came out which has name of two police officers who interviewed MQM guys. If this document is not real, proving fake is matter of minutes as any of the two police officials can refuse its existence. It is a stamped, dated and with references.. it is very hard to deny if its legal BUT very easy to bust if it is illegal.

At last you agreed on WAIT AND WATCH thing that I am trying to explain here since beginning. The Investigation is Intense as it is moving to its Final Conclusion so it wont take long the real stuff comes out under Official Consents with no Dispute on its Authenticity. whatever turned out from it would be Clear and Transparent so as the Reaction after that would also be Authentic either its against MQM for its in favor of them rather then what we have today is Humiliating a party on the basis of Questionable information. That is not fair to anyone rather its DISRESPECTFUL to Electoral they Represent as well.Valid question but this case is even more intense now. If they were able to deny its content before, it is rather easier to say it is forged, fake or untrue. Now wait and see if something like this comes up. We already know they are involved and after making this statement, they are as much a player in it as MQM. Wait a see, I know you are trying to save this party but it is not a political party any more.. you have to bury even your own children when they go out of spirit and soul.
Don't make decisions now but be prepared not to spare any single one who has been involved and has been getting support from an enemy country.
India should openly admit this when Hurriyat leaders took money from Pakistan secondly His relatives in Aligarh and Agra became rich all of a sudden, who owned a petty leather business in the past.
