Okay take it from someone who has a little knowledge of these things
Under UK law once a complaint is filed, it is up to the Police to investigate, gather evidence and then decide through the Crown Prosecution Service as to whether there is sufficient evidence for the matter to proceed. That is where the UK has fobbed off everybody by asking for evidence, when it is their duty to invesigate and gather evidence, not wait for someone to bring it to them. That is why they question witnesses, and get arrest warrants and search warrants and oppose bail, becuase they are doing their job.
THE VERY least that is required is to actually question the accussed about the allegations made against him. The UK has never ever asked any questions of Altaf Hussain and when they are raised by anyone, the standard answer is give us the evidence. Perhaps questioning him is where this should begin, Questions have been asked in Parliament and they have not been answered. Questions have been raised in writing and nothing. UK Media has written articles about MQM and their terrorism, nothing, but some remote Islamic groups are investigated for merely having said something on the net and then banned. MQM in the UK has a free hand and is above the Law. It is their Biggest weapon knowing that they can get away with ANYTHING and the UK will not touch them. British Law is supposed to be able to prosecute for terrorism ANYWHERE if it is conducted funded or aided from the UK. Despite everything the UK has NEVER investigated them, but their own courts, and Home Office, Amnesty, and all sorts of Human Rights organisations have said they are terrorists. Canadian Courts, Homeland Security, University of Mayland Database. Are they ALL wrong. The evidence is there, and IF Altaf was questioned, he would crumble
Take the murder of Imran Farooq, Altaf was never once questioned officially about what he knew. Nor was ANYONE else from MQM in the UK, but the Police have concluded it was a professional job and someone inside MQM must have provided access to the information about Imran Farooq. Tell me of a single MQM member high or low questioned in this regard ! The simple truth is the British Police are under instructions from the Home Office MI5 and MI6 and the Americans to leave Altaf and MQM alone, because they serve a purpose.
Finally once a file is opened it cannot be closed on the say so of an individual. The file is on record and IF new evidence comes in, it will be added to it until there is sufficient evidence to prosecute. I can give you examples of files which have been reopened because it is now possible to convict people with new technology. Esp in cases where DNA may be available from days before DNA could be used.

Imran PTI, or anyone else cannot withdraw a case, unless the crime was committed against Imran personally. Complaints of general criminal activity cannot be withdrawn. There is no F I R in English Law as none is required. Small example to illustrate
I go into a Police Station and say I heard that X killed Y in such and such a place 5 days ago. Then the Police go investigate and find evidence, Can I then go back and saw I withdraw what I said so you cannot investigate or prosecute anymore ?

Read that if you want details of how Criminal Law works in the UK That is from the CPS. Nowhere does it say that an investigation must be stopped if someone withdraws what they say. There are offences to gaurd against it, including wasting police time and perverting the Course of Justice, Perjury and False Accusation.
The complaint against MQM and Altaf is on file and will remain there, awaiting more evidence, until Altaf is dead, or more credible evidence comes in and against MQM for as long as it exists. It will be of no use however because MQM will serve the Brits for as long as it takes. If the head of the snake cannot be reached, slice the snake into two as high up as possible. Pakistan Imran PTI or anyone else cannot do much about Altaf but MQM in Pakistan CAN be tackled if there is a will in the future to do so.
Hope that helps, That is fact simple as that
