PIC suo motu: FIA submits 'incomplete' report to Supreme Court
FIA says the Punjab government has sealed records and is not providing the necessary information.
ISLAMABAD:
The Federal Investigative Agency (FIA) submitted its report to the Supreme Court in the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) medicine case on Wednesday, Express News reported.
The FIA said that the investigation report was submitted ‘incomplete’ as the Punjab government has not corresponded well and neither have government officials submitted their replies to the agency.
FIA officials told the court that the record of the PIC was sealed by the Punjab government and the court would have to order the government to provide it.
Major Mubashir, leading the team constituted by the Punjab government, met with the FIA and assured them of providing the records, but did not comply.
The medicine – IsoTab – was recently found to have a large amount of an anti-bacterial which triggered an unknown disease in heart patients who consumed it and caused the death of hundreds of people in Punjab.
With the death toll constantly rising, the Federal Investigative Agency (FIA) and the Punjab government took several steps, including sealing factories which manufactured them to control the matter.
The Supreme Court is also hearing a suo moto case of the incident.
