The federal government had initially constituted a three-member committee to investigate the brutal murder of Arshad Sharif that took place last month in Kenya. Lt. Col. Saad Ahmed of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) was the third member.
However, the federal government made last-minute changes and removed Lt. Col. Saad Ahmed from the investigation committee. The reasons behind the exclusion of the ISI official from the committee remained unknown.
The two-member team questioned and recorded the testimonies of two Pakistani brothers, Waqar Ahmed and Khurram Ahmed, in the Arshad Sharif murder case.
Waqar revealed that he hosted Arshad at his farmhouse for two months at the request of a friend. Waqar claimed that he had only met Arshad once before this when he invited him to dinner at his house.
My question is, do the govt. officials who received these “souvenirs”, are they supposed to deposit these in the “Toshakhana”?
