The fact-finding committee of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has summoned PTI leaders Murad Saeed and Faisal Vawda in connection with the murder of journalist Arshad Sharif.
Vawda and Saeed have been served notices wherein they were asked to appear before the committee at the FIA headquarters on Monday along with the evidence of threats to the journalist.
Disgruntled PTI leader Vawda held an explosive press conference last month, wherein he not only claimed that senior anchorperson Arshad Sharif’s murder was pre-planned but also warned those allegedly planning to kill him of fatal retaliation.
“If Arshad Sharif can get shot then anyone can,” he had said at the National Press Club, adding that the senior anchorperson’s killing was not an accident.
Vawda had claimed that Sharif was killed under a conspiracy hatched within the country, adding that even his mobile and laptop would not be found as all “evidence has been erased”.
