Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that a high-level three-member investigation team had been formed to find out the facts related to the murder of senior journalist Arshad Sharif in Kenya. He stated that the investigation team consisted of top officials from the FIA and other intelligence agencies. “The investigation team will immediately leave for Kenya and investigate the murder case of Arshad Sharif. The final report will be submitted to the Ministry of Interior,” he added. “In the Arshad Sharif case, the investigation team will look into the role of a person associated with a private channel in Pakistan in the gold smuggling business in Kenya,” he stated. “The investigation team will examine all the causes and motives behind Arshad Sharif’s departure from Pakistan to Dubai and then from Dubai to Kenya,” he affirmed. “After the confession of a political figure, the investigation team will also examine the factors that forced Arshad Sharif to travel from Pakistan to Dubai and then from Dubai to Kenya,” he added. “The investigation team will prepare an independent report in the light of the information and evidence gathered from Kenyan police and other sources and submit it to the Ministry of Interior Affairs,” he emphasised.
