Islamabad, June 15 The former Director General of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hameed is not under arrest, a media report said citing sources.Some social media reports on Wednesday suggested that the former spy chief has been put under house arrest in his hometown Chakwal and is being probed in connection with the May 9 attacks, The News reported.The News contacted three different sources to ascertain the veracity of the social media reports.All three sources rejected these reports and insisted that Gen Faiz had not been arrested, with one of them saying he has met the former spymaster in the last few days.Gen Faiz has been the focus of discussion both in the media and politics because of the controversies surrounding his role during his days in the ISI, initially as DGC and later as DG ISI.These controversies followed him even after his retirement. Many in politics and media allege that he has been one of the closest advisers of Imran Khan after his removal from the Prime Minister's Office, The News reported.Some allege that Gen Faiz has also been advising Imran even during the recent months. There are also speculations about the Faiz-Imran connection behind the May 9 attacks. These reports, however, remained unverified, The News reported.A case of alleged assets beyond means against former Gen Faiz was, however, referred to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) before the arrival of the incumbent NAB chief.The reference was returned by the Bureau.The News had reported in March this year that the NAB Rawalpindi office had received a file, containing complete details of Gen Faiz's income tax record and a two-page complaint signed by some unknown locals from Chakwal for initiation of an inquiry against the former ISI chief.These sources said that the NAB Rawalpindi DG considered the file and after consultation with the-then chairman, the case was returned with the direction that a formal request be made to the Bureau by the concerned authorities.Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah had also said a few months back that the investigation agencies are conducting an inquiry against Gen Faiz and any progress about it will be shared with the media.Sanaullah did not disclose which government investigation agency was conducting the inquiry against Gen Faiz. He also did not specify what was being probed against the former ISI DG.Rana Sanaullah, however, said: "Only the institution can conduct General Faiz's court martial."Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
