Committee formed to probe journalist torture case

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rehman Malik constituted a joint investigation committee, led by the DIG Operations, to probe the kidnapping and torture of journalist Umar Cheema in Islamabad.

Malik visited Cheema on Monday and said that the incident was a conspiracy against the government and the media.

While talking to media representatives, he said that a judicial investigation would also be carried out into the incident because the government was serious in pursuing the case.

The minister said that two different groups had claimed responsibility for the incident. However, we are making our own assessment about the claims, he added.
