Admiral (Retd) Fasih Bukhari, the National Accountability (NAB) chairman, has said that the investigation in the Rental Power Case will remain suspended until the conclusion of mysterious death of Kamran Faisal, an officer who was the part of the team investigating the Rental Power Projects (RPPs) scam case.
According to a statement released by NAB in wee hours of Tuesday, Chairman NAB said the arms training will be provided to the investigation officers for their protection.
He said in case any officer faces threats, the bureau will provide safety to him adding the investigation officer will be separated upon his request.
Fasih Bukhari said if the probe conducted by the judicial commission formed by government to ascertain the reality behind Faisal’s mysterious death proved dissatisfactory, the department could initiate its on inquiry.
The federal government on Tuesday constituted a Justice (Retd) Javed Iqbal headed commission on Sunday and directed it to complete the investigation of the Faisal’s death and submit its report within two weeks.
On the other hand, the nationwide protest of NAB employees regarding the death of Kamran Faisal is continued and they have rejected the government-constituted judicial commission.
The NAB employees have demanded to formation of a commission headed by sitting Supreme Court judge be formed.
Faisal was found dead in his room in Federal lodges on January 18, 2013. He was investigating high profile corruption case in Rental Power plants which includes prime minister Raja Pervez Ashraf in list of accused.
Last week Supreme Court of Pakistan had ordered to arrest all accused in the case including prime minister of Pakistan. His colleagues suggest that he was facing immense pressure to change the contents of his investigation report but he refused to budge.
Faisal’s mysterious death created many doubts as his family claimed that he has been murdered as his body bore torture marks.
