LAHORE:

Important record pertaining to the investigation of the attack on former prime minister Imran Khan in Wazirabad has gone missing from the Punjab Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE).

The record contained the investigation files of the joint investigation team (JIT) formed to probe the assassination bid.

An ACE officer, Anwar Shah, was a member of the JIT, and was looking after the record at the vigilance cell. The officer was later suspended.

Newly-appointed ACE Director General Sohail Zafar Chatha announced the establishment of a five-member committee to investigate the matter.

He told the media that the committee members include director legal, assistant director legal, assistant director information technology and assistant director administration.

He added that the committee will conduct an inquiry into the missing record, which also includes details on housing societies owned by two influential political personalities, and then submit a report.
