Faisal, who held the position of assistant director at the bureau, was found hanging from the ceiling fan in his room at the federal lodge number 2. PHOTO: FILE
Faisal – who was looking into alleged kickbacks by the premier in transactions involving rental power plants – was found hanging from the ceiling of a government hostel room on January 18.
His death came 24 hours after the NAB chief told the Supreme Court that it did not have enough evidence to arrest Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, as directed by the court last week.
The deceased’s father had requested for this judicial inquiry.
The commission, headed by Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal, has two weeks time to submit its findings.
A five-member medical board, which conducted Faisal’s autopsy, and the Secretariat police had said that the NAB officer’s death was an apparent case of suicide and refuted claims that any torture marks were found on his body.

Another open ended case, this will go on forever with no results. If we have done all the cases swiftly on time, Mr Rental shouldnt be our prime minister now!
We start cases, commissions, etc and these die down without simply any results! and I am afraid this will not be any different unless a team of god fearing and sincere people come into power and clean the system from these idiots.
Until that time, media will cry for few days, courts can take notice, but shameless will carry on what they are doing while laughing at us!
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! What's the point? This is a country that does not want to know the truth about its own leaders' death -- from Jinnah to Liaquat to Zia to BB. So many people have been killed, bumped off, assassinated in Pakistan. How does one small, poor, honest official matter, hain?
Absolutely no trust in this govt. for any unbiased and serious inquiry.
Very unfortunate that we smell conspiracy in everything. Please have trust in your institutions and let them do their job. They are very well trained in telling a murder apart from a suicide. Let them do their job and stop all these baseless conspiracy theories.
I wish all of us live a healthy and contented life and die a very peaceful death on our beloved Manji = Charpayi
The violent and unnatural death of Kamaran Faisal is a reminder, how inhuman, decadent, callous and immoral our society has become, with its insatiable greed and a dead conscience.
Can a government-appointed commission be really and truly "INDEPENDENT" and drill deep under the surface in the given two weeks? Are the 'Terms of Reference' comprehensive enough? Has important evidence already been lost in their hurried postmortem and failure to include forensic medicine experts in the post-mortem examination and forensic investigators at the place where dead body was found?
Justice Javed Iqbal is another Abdul Hameed Dogar. Close friend of Asif Zardari. No one should accept him as a commission. Should be either Justice Ramday or Shoaib Suddle. No one else can take pressure.
All the primary evidence has cleaned up from the crime scene. How can the general doctor’s team investigate without any honest forensic experts? Forensic investigations starts from the first step securing of crime scene evidence, auto biopsy and other analysis are the secondary measures. Mostly no actual conclusion comes after the days investigations and if consider that one had really committed suicide then the responsibility even goes to those who created the circumstance that already prematurely consider reasons of suicide. All is the game of power politics among all the state holders. Liaquat Ali Khan committed suicide, Bhutto committed suicide, Benazir Bhutto committed suicide, Bangladesh also committed suicide, Mr. Zia committed suicide, every explosion suicide,Why not the whole nation should commit suicide it once because there is no space for Nobel, Honest, Hardworking and Powerless people. The history of Pakistan has been written every day with new chapters of shame, corruption and brutality.
already evidence destroyed
How many commissions were set up in the past and what have been their fate??? Shezad Commission quietly disappeared, so did the recent Memogate Commission, so did Mehran Base one, so did Haji scam commission. I foresee a Pakistan commission to examine how Pakistan was lost. By then no one would care to read the findings of this Commission.
Before supreme court take sou moto notice on this conspiracy our government (so called) has set a commission....lets see what SC has to say now
Govt is good for nothing.. it's form a Judicial Commission while an ordinary person can point the murderer of Kamran Faisal but this Judicial Commission will never know the cause of death... as one JC is investigating OBL death since 20 months and will definitely come with nothing.. this system now sucks...
Judicial Commision will find out the truth whether it was a suicide or a murder.
If this commission should do its job in a matter of days with conclusive result otherwise it will be look like an attempt to sweep the dirt under the carpet.
