Fawad demands independent panel to investigate ‘custodial torture’ of Shahbaz Gill
Imran Khan’s chief of staff was arrested on August 9 in connection with an FIR registered against him for allegedly inciting mutiny among the armed forces


Islamabad: Former information and broadctasting minister and PTI leader Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Saturday demanded constitution of an independent panel to probe the “custodial torture” of party member Shahbaz Gill.
Taking to Twitter, he suggested former human rights minister Shireen Mazari, PPP’s Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar and PML-N’s Khawaja Saad Rafique to be part of the panel team.
میری ذاتی رائے میں خواجہ سعد رفیق، مصطفی نواز کھوکھر اور ڈاکٹر شیریں مزاری پرپینل بنا دیں جو ڈاکٹر شہباز گل پر تشدد کی انکوائری کرے اور ملوث لوگوں کو شناخت کر کے کٹہرے میں لائے، اس ہینل پر یہ الزام بھی نہیں لگ سکتا کہ یہ Pro PTI ہے

“These people have a point of view on torture, which is independent of their parties’ narrative hence, they should be given the responsibility of inquiring the events,” he said.
The chief of staff of former prime minister Imran Khan was arrested on August 9 in connection with an FIR registered against him for allegedly inciting mutiny among the armed forces.
The authorities and PTI have been at odds over Gill’s custody after the politician was moved to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) earlier this week over complaints of breathing issues.
