\"\"Rawalpindi, 10 December 2024:Former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lt Gen (Retd) Faiz Hameed has been formally indicted on multiple charges, including engaging in political activities, the military\u2019s media affairs wing said on Tuesday.<\/h5>\n
This development is a whistle blower for former Prime Minister Imran Khan who is already detained on different cases including 09 May riots against Pakistan Army, and for former Chief of Army Staff General R Qamar Javed Bajwa as the boss of Faiz Hameed and one of the key players in the tenure when Faiz was doing all the things, for which he has been charged now.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the charges are part of the ongoing court martial proceedings under the Pakistan Army Act.<\/h5>\n
On 12 August 2024, process of FGCM was initiated against Lt Gen Faiz Hamid (Retd) under provisions of Pakistan Army Act and in first place Lt Gen Faiz Hameed (Retd) has been formally arraigned on charges of engaging in political activities, violations of Official Secret Act detrimental to safety and interest of the state, misuse of authority & government resources and causing wrongful loss to a person(s).<\/h5>\n
This is first time in the history of Pakistan that a former DG of ISI is being trialed for these charges.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
During the process, involvement of Lt Gen Faiz Hamid (Retd), in events related to creating agitation and unrest, leading upto multiple incidents including but not limited to 9th May 2023 incident for fomenting instability; at the behest of and in collusion with vested political interests, is also being separately investigated.<\/h5>\n
Lt Gen Faiz Hamid (Retd) is being afforded with all legal rights as per the law.<\/h5>\n
In April this year, the army constituted a high-level inquiry committee headed by a major general to look into the allegations against Gen Faiz.<\/h5>\n
The inquiry was ordered in pursuant to the orders of the Supreme Court and in the light of the directives of the Ministry of Defence.<\/h5>\n
On August 12, he was detained by military authorities and court martial proceedings have been initiated against him on charges of corruption.<\/h5>\n
On November 8, 2023, Moeez Ahmed Khan, the owner of Top City, filed a petition in the Supreme Court in which he accused Gen Faiz for misusing his authority.<\/h5>\n
The petition stated that on May 12, 2017, on the behest of Gen Faiz, ISI officials raided the Top City office and his house. During the raid, valuables, including gold, diamonds and money, were seized from the house by ISI officials, the petitioner alleged.\"\"<\/h5>\n
The petition added that Sardar Najaf, the brother of Gen Faiz, also contacted him to resolve the issue later.<\/h5>\n
It also claimed that Gen Faiz later personally met him to resolve the issue, in which he assured that some of the items which had been taken away by the ISI officials during the raid would be returned. However, 400 tolas of gold and cash will not be returned to him.<\/h5>\n
It further alleged that the ISI officials extorted Rs4 crore cash from them.<\/h5>\n
Considering the sensitivity of the matter and in view of these serious allegations, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court, which included then Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Qazi Faiz Isa, Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Aminuddin, heard the case.<\/h5>\n
