Kamran Faisal’s body needs to be exhumed for proper samples: Sanaullah

LAHORE: Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah has claimed that incomplete samples of Kamran Faisal were sent to the forensic laboratory and in order to get correct samples his body would need to be exhumed.

Sanaullah further claims that federal institutions were creating hurdles in this regard. The Punjab Law Minister added that forensic experts from the Punjab Forensic Laboratory wanted to take samples themselves but departments under the federal government did not cooperate with them.

Meanwhile in response to a letter by the Punjab Forensic Science Agency, the Islamabad District Administration has said that the permission to exhume Kamran Faisal’s body will be given by Secretary Punjab.

Kamran Faisal, who was part of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) team as an investigator to probe the Rental Power Projects (RPP) scam case, was found hanging from the ceiling fan in his room at the federal lodges.

The Supreme Court decided to hold a separate hearing from the RPP case over Kamran Faisal’s death. NAB Chairman Fasih Bokhari has claimed that Kamran committed a suicide, while his family members maintain that he was murdered.
