Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Asif Saeed Khosa has taken suo motu notice of the alleged suicide of Brigadier (retd) Asad Munir.
The CJP took suo motu notice on a letter addressed to him allegedly written by Asad Munir. The investigation report against Asad Munir has been summoned from Chairman National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal.
Munir, a former member of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) and former intelligence operative allegedly committed suicide last Friday.
Munir was upset over media reports that ran a day earlier stating that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) during its executive board meeting had granted approval for the filing of a reference against him, family sources said. NAB had accused Munir of misusing his authority and restoring a plot in F-11 area of the federal capital.
In the alleged letter addressed to the CJP, Munir gave details of the allegations levelled against him and the way he was treated by “incompetent NAB officers”.
He wrote that he was committing suicide to avoid humiliation and requested that the CJP take notice of the conduct of NAB officials.
