Murtaza Bhutto

The DIG (Inspection & Enquiry) was given 10 days to submit his report which
he did after 12 days.
(At this point, the report was handed over to the tribunal. Justice Zahid said
that the report would be sealed and after its perusal by the tribunal, a
decision would be taken whether a it should be exhibited and copies made
available to all the involved parties.)
The DIG (Crime) has not yet submitted his report as the investigation is still
going on.
Q: Are you being kept informed from time to time of the progress being made
in the investigation?
IG: I am being kept informed regularly of the investigation. I might add that
after a meeting of all the four IGPs with Interior Secretary I. M. Mohsin where
I suggested to him that all the other Igs should suggest names of four officers
who were above board to help in the investigation. Consequently, the SP
(CID) of NWFP, Syed Akhtar Zaidi, came to assist the enquiry. He arrived in
Karachi about a week back and has been associated with the investigation
which is still in progress.
Q: Did you keep the home department and the home secretary informed of
the investigation?
IG: Yes, sir.
Q: Was this in writing or orally in meetings?
IG: It was done orally, in meetings.
Q: Did you receive any instructions or directions or guidance from higher
authorities including the CM, the federal government through the interior
division or the Prime Minister's secretariat insofar as the late Mir Murtaza
Bhutto and his party is concerned?
IG: No.
Q: Were any instructions received directly or indirectly by you that Mir
Murtaza Bhutto or his bodyguards should be arrested?
