Ex-DG ISI Faiz Hameed’s brother Najaf arrested in corruption case

-

Najaf Hameed, the brother of former ISI chief Faiz Hameed, was arrested on Monday by the anti-corruption department’s Rawalpindi circle after his bail application was dismissed by Judge Ali Nawaz Bhakar in a case of corruption and bribery. 

According to sources, the officials of the anti-corruption department arrested Najaf Hameed and left for Chakwal on court orders. 

Reportedly, 18 suspects were booked in a case of bribery, misuse of authority and losses to the national exchequer. However, the remaining suspects are still at large. 

Najaf was later once again presented before Judge Ali Nawaz Bhakar of the Anti-Corruption Special Court. The court dismissed his pre-arrest bail application.

Najaf then decided to approach the senior civil judge (criminal) for pre-arrest bail. He will be presented before the court of the senior civil judge along with his lawyers in the custody of anti-corruption officials.

As per reports, Najaf Hameed had secured protective bail from the court in the bribery case. In April 2023, the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) had initiated an inquiry against him on allegations of out-of-turn promotion and accumulating assets beyond means.

The anti-graft body wrote a letter to the deputy commissioners of Rawalpindi and Chakwal asking for the record of land owned by Najaf Hameed. 

On February 13, he was suspended from the post of naib tehsildar in Chakwal over alleged misconduct.
