The FIA Anti-Corruption Cell has formally initiated an inquiry against Najaf Hameed over allegations of possessing assets beyond known sources of income.
According to sources, the inquiry is part of a broader corruption investigation linked to Najaf Hameed, who is the brother of former DG ISI Faiz Hameed.
