KARACHI: Arshad Vohra ? the city's deputy mayor ? has been involved in the money-laundering case for the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-London (MQM-L), Sarfaraz Merchant alleged Monday night.

Merchant ? the party founder's former aide and one of the accused in the MQM-L money-laundering case ? was speaking in Geo News' program Aapas Ki Baat.

Merchant brought new matters to light, saying both factions of the political group ? MQM-L and MQM-Pakistan ? advised him not to go ahead with the evidence against the party founder.

The accused also said senior party leader Farooq Sattar's claims of disassociation were only a 'talk' and that it is insubstantial since funds have been shifted abroad to London as late as August 25.
