ISLAMABAD: Interior Ministry has sent red warrant of Hammad Siddiqui, the key accused in Baldia factory fire case, to Interpol to approach to member countries for his arrest.
As per details, the Ministry has issued red warrant of Siddiqui in the light of the statement of Abdul Rehman alias Bhola, another accused in the factory fire case, who was arrested through Interpol from Thailand and was brought back.
After receiving the red warrant request, the Interpol will issue the warrant and will request the member countries to help arrest the accused. It is to be mentioned here that the Interior Minister on the request of Sindh Home Department gave approval for issuing red warrant of Hammad Siddiqui two week ago.
