The committee, headed by PML-N Senator Raja Zafarul Haq, will investigate Aqeel's escape and determine those responsible for the incident.

Moreover, Interior Minister Rehman Malik
Pak politician, current Interior Minister under the Gilani administration. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. He later joined the Pak Peoples Party and was chief security officer to Bhutto. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Näwaz Shärif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men.
said that the PML-N leadership should have immediately suspended Aqeel's party membership.
"Anjum Aqeel should surrender himself and apologise to the nation," said Malik.
According to police, they carried out raids to arrest Aqeel's accomplices, 13 of whom were set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock and later granted bail.
The police said Aqeel operated a company named Linkers Property Dealer, which was not registered with the competent authority.
He acquired 608 kanals of land for the National Police Foundation in the Shalimar police limits but transferred only 563 kanals to the foundation, allegedly embezzling the remaining 45 kanals in connivance with its former officials, the police said.
