Former director general Inter-Services Intelligence Lt General (retd) Faiz Hameed has been arrested by Armed forces, the ISPR said.
Army’s media wing Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said the action was initiated as Supreme Court of Pakistan conducted a thorough investigation into the Top City Case involving Lt Gen Faiz Hameed (Retd).
The inquiry aimed to assess legitimacy of complaints against former spymaster. Consequently, disciplinary measures have been taken against him under the Pakistan Army Act, and he faces a Field General Court Martial due to identified violations of the Army Act after his retirement.
‘Faiz Hameed Arrested’
An inquiry committee was formed by serving major general, to address allegations of authority misuse by the former Director General of country’s top spy agency. Hameed’s detention was part of an effort toward self-accountability.
The housing giant sought action against Hameed of orchestrating a raid on the offices and residence of its owner, Moeez Khan. Following a Supreme Court directive in November 2023, Khan was advised to seek resolution from relevant authorities, including the defence ministry. The inquiry committee will now prepare and submit its findings to the appropriate authorities.
