ISLAMABAD: The federal government has raised objections over the joint investigation team (JIT) constituted by the Punjab government to probe attack on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in Wazirabad.
According to details, Interior Minister has penned down a letter to Punjab
Home Department, raising objections over the joint investigation team (JIT)
constituted by the Punjab government to probe attack on Imran Khan.
In the letter, the interior ministry pointed out that the members – included
in the investigation teams – belong to the Punjab police. “JIT does not
include representative of any other law enforcement agency,” the letter
stated.
The federal ministry proposed Punjab government to include representatives
of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Intelligence Bureau (IB) in the
JIT.
The letter noted that the province had appointed Capital City Police Officer
(CCPO) Lahore Ghulam Mehmood Dogar as convener of JIT.
“Dogar was suspended by the Establishment Division. A transparent
investigation is not possible by including such an officer in the team,” the
letter added.
