The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has demanded judicial probe into the incident of death of ex-Pakistan Telecommunications Corporation Limited (PTCL) official Agha Muhammad Sajjad in the custody of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
In a press statement, HRCP Chairperson Tahir Muhammad Khan and its Secretary General Hina Jilani also demanded of the government that the findings of the probe must be presented within a short timeframe.
They said the death of Agha Sajjad in NAB custody could only add to the many existing anxieties about the methods of interrogation used by the increasingly controversial body.
