The forensic report on sugar and wheat crises may face further delay as one of the members of the commission has tested positive for deadly coronavirus.
Sources said that an additional director Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) who is one the members of the commission has tested positive for Covid-19. The government has already granted three weeks time to commission headed by Director General (DG) FIA Wajid Zia to submit detailed forensic report.
Following the recent wheat and sugar crises in the country, Prime Minister Imran Khan initially made a three-member inquiry committee under DG FIA Wajid Zia to dig into the matter.
While submitting its separate reports on wheat and sugar several weeks ago, the Inquiry Committee recommended to the government for the constitution of a commission to do forensic audit of sugar industry. The federal cabinet allowed it and formed the Sugar Commission under DG FIA and comprising members from Intelligence Bureau, FIA, SECP, FBR, Anti-Corruption Department, Punjab etc.
The commission was asked to complete its task and submit its report on April 25 but the commission sought more time to complete its audit.
