The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Thursday submitted an inquiry report to the Supreme Court (SC) on Brigadier (r) Asad Munir’s suicide, explaining that the latter had appeared before investigators five times – thrice as a witness and twice as an accused. Munir passed away on March 15 and left behind a note lamenting disrespectful treatment meted out by NAB officials. Chief Justice of Pakistan Asif Saeed Khosa had taken notice of the suicide note left behind by the former officer and sought a reply from NAB Chairman Justice (r) Javed Iqbal. The matter was probed by a three-member committee chaired by Iqbal and comprising NAB Director General Brig (r) Adeel and NAB Prosecutor General Asghar Haider. He said he had filed a review appeal addressed to the interior secretary but received no response.
