Inquiry report into attack on Hamid Mir leaked

19 Dec, 2016

The inquiry report of a judicial commission, that investigated 2014 gun attack on senior journalist and anchorperson Hamid Mir in Karachi was released on Sunday.
"We find that there was complete failure on the part of all the law enforcing agencies in the performance of their duty to properly investigate the instant case," the commission report states on page 37.
Leak of the 41-page report came a day after Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan questioned the release of what he termed a 'one-sided' inquiry commission report on the August 8 terrorist attacks in Quetta and vowed to confront its contents at all forums, including parliament and the Supreme Court.
On federal government's request, then Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani, had formed a three-member judicial commission to probe the attack in which Hamid Mir was injured.
