Witnesses in fake accounts case vanished, SC told
[DAWN] The Supreme Court hearing a Rs35 billion fake accounts case was told on Monday that two witnesses to whom the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had issued summons for investigation had vanished.A three-judge SC bench headed by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, however, issued notices to Inspector General of Sindh Police Kaleem Imam after senior counsel Sardar Muhammad Aslam requested the court to order the provincial police to recover the disappeared persons. The chief justice asked what would police do if someone had disappeared on his own? "Let us ask from the IG Sindh whether they have disappeared on their own or someone has kidnapped them," he said. Justice Ijaz-ul-Ahsan asked if the provincial police could be of any help. Mr Aslam is representing the family members of Mohammad Bashir and Abdul Jabbar ‐ the two witnesses who have disappeared in a mysterious manner after they were summoned by the joint investigation team that is probing the fake accounts case.
