In connection with the Field General Court Martial (FGCM) proceedings of Lieutenant General (retd) Faiz Hamid, three more retired officers have been taken into military custody, the army’s media wing said on Thursday.
The Inter-Services Public Relations added that the retired officers were arrested for their actions prejudicial to military discipline.
“Further investigations of certain retired officers and their accomplices for fomenting instability at the behest of and in collusion with vested political interests are continuing,” it also said.
On August 12, the ISPR said Gen Faiz had been taken into custody by the army over allegations of land grabbing and snatching valuables from the owner of a private housing society.
“Complying with the orders of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, a detailed court of inquiry was undertaken by the Pakistan Army to ascertain the correctness of complaints in Top City Case made against Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hamid,” the ISPR had said.
Consequently, the ISPR had said appropriate disciplinary action had been initiated against the former spymaster under provisions of the Pakistan Army Act.
