Former ISI chief Lt General (retd) Faiz Hamid has been taken into custody by the military, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement on Monday.
“Complying with the orders of Supreme Court of Pakistan, a detailed court of inquiry, was undertaken by Pakistan Army, to ascertain correctness of complaints in Top City Case made against Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hamid,” the military’s media wing said.
Consequently, the ISPR said appropriate disciplinary action has been initiated against the former spy chief under provisions of Pakistan Army Act.
The ISPR said multiple instances of violation of Pakistan Army Act post retirement have also been established against the former general, who also served as Peshawar corps commander.
“The process of Field General Court Martial has been initiated and Lt Gen Faiz Hameed (Retd) has been taken into military custody,” the ISPR added.
