ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Interior has ordered to launch a high-level inquiry into the incident of attacking Sindh House by a group of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers led by two members of the National Assembly (MNAs), citing sources, ARY News reported on Saturday.
Sources told ARY News that the interior ministry directed the investigators headed by the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Operations Owais Ahmed to submit the inquiry report in three days.
The investigators have been looking into facts regarding the gathering of the PTI workers without getting any call from the ministers and then crowding once again after being dispersed from the Sindh House.
The Islamabad police will also come under scrutiny for allowing the PTI workers twice to enter the high-security zone. They will also investigate the facts behind stopping Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) workers but failing to stop the PTI workers, sources said.
