The alleged murder of 44 year old Imperial College London graduate Farooq Ali is steeped in mystery, given a variety of imposing factors to be considered by any determined investigation team.

Farooq Ali's family originated from Plaak in Mirpur division of AJK. His father migrated to the UK a few decades ago and strived hard as a textile worker in Bradford to give his eldest son Farooq the best education possible. Passing through grammar school and on to Imperial College where he graduated and then post graduated too in Biochemistry.

A love for his home of origin and the pain of 'Kashmir' compelled Farooq Ali to make prolonged visits to Pakistan and AJK over the past decade. In his most recent stay, he had been living at the Ramada by Wyndham Hotel (An American 4 star chain that also had various foreign embassies - including the UK - as their clientele). Despite such a secure environment and Farooq being there for months, the hotel staff claim that they felt no inclination to check on Farooq in his room, despite him not making contact for 5 days. 

It was only after Farooq's younger sister Rehiana Ali in the UK persisted in trying to make contact with her brother, who had not contacted his family since the 11th of March. He was found dead in his room on the 16th of March.

This detailed briefing was provided by Farooq Ali's 2 sisters Yasmin Ali and Rehiana Ali, who - along with their ailing parents - flew straight over upon learning of the death of their brother and eldest child respectively. They have fought hard and persistently to obtain justice for their brother for the past six months, staying put in AJK while doing so. 

Farooq Ali's death is akin to the death of a nation; given his calibre, patriotism and concern for the occupied people of Kashmir. His devotion kept him here for many years, in a very rare example of human capital repatriation. 

Learn of what Farooq's sisters have uncovered so far and what they intend to do further to obtain clarity on their brother's mysterious death.
