Shamim further said that Mohsin and Kashif were given a huge amount in return of murder and the duo used to send him an email daily besides making two calls on his phone.
The correspondence was done regarding Imran Farooq’s daily routine and the progress on the plan as both the boys kept a close watch on Farooq’s movements.
Shamim who is also a Water Board employee told the investigators that the whole plan included the murder of Mohsin and Kashif and the removal of Moazzam’s BlackBerry data once Imran Farooq is dead.
