The Supreme Court of Pakistan has ordered an investigation into General Hameed’s involvement in a financial corruption case related to real estate development, as stated by Pakistan’s Army Public Relations. Following the investigation, disciplinary actions were taken against him for violating military laws even post-retirement, leading to his trial and subsequent arrest by a military court.
General Faiz Hameed, former head of ISI, was relieved of his duties in October 2021 and appointed as the new army corps commander in Peshawar. A clash between the military and the government ensued when Prime Minister Imran Khan tried to extend Hameed’s tenure, ultimately resulting in Khan retracting his decision and appointing General Nadeem Anjum as the new ISI chief.
The recent developments in the case have stirred up controversy and shed light on the complex dynamics between the military and the government in Pakistan. Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story.
