RAWALPINDI:

Interior ministry’s fact-finding team formed to probe slain journalist Arshad Sharif’s murder has called Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders Murad Saeed and Faisal Vawda on Monday.

The PTI leaders are asked to present evidence, if any, before the team at the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) headquarters.

The team has asked for the leaders’ help because they were close to the journalist. Faisal Vawda’s press conference related to the slain journalist following his murder raised some eyebrows, suggesting that he might be helpful in leading the case to its logical conclusion.

The team, which consists of Director FIA Athar Waheed and Deputy Director General Intelligence Bureau (IB) Shahid Hamid, provided its initial report to the Interior ministry after concluding investigation in Kenya.

After concluding Kenyan chapter for now, the team is currently in Dubai to closely look into the activities of the journalist throughout his journey.
