ISLAMABAD: The Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probing the martyr journalist Arshad Sharif’s murder case reached ARY News Islamabad office and sought personal records of the journalists and other employees.
The joint investigation team on Arshad Sharif’s murder case visited ARY News Islamabad office today and sought personal records of the journalists and other employees.
The move apparently exhibited the coalition government’s intention to harass ARY News employees after failing to take any action against those who threatened and lodged the First Information Reports (FIRs) against the martyr journalist.

The performance of JIT formed by the coalition government raised questions after failing to summon the individuals who had lodged FIRs against Arshad Sharif and diverting attention from the nominated names mentioned in the fact-finding report to the ARY Digital Network.
Earlier in the day, the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probing the Arshad Sharif murder case obtained key information from the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Javed Iqbal.
The JIT on the martyr journalist Arshad Sharif’s murder case held its sixth session today. The JIT members interviewed DIG CTD KP Javed Iqbal and obtained key information.
