PTI senator Azam Swati admits influencing transfer of Islamabad IG

Though the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government on Sunday rejected the reports claiming that  Islamabad Inspector General Jan Muhammad was transferred because he delayed hearing PTI senator Azam Swati’s phone call, the federal minister himself later admitted that the cow of suspects — arrested by the police — caused damage to the fruit trees at his farmhouse.

“I tried to call Islamabad IG multiple times but he didn’t answer,” the PTI senator said, adding that when his servants were attacked, he used the standard procedure, not any influence. However, he mentioned that both interior secretary and State Minister for Interior Shehryar Afridi were directly involved in his case.

Reacting to the purported arrest of a minor, the minister maintained that his family did not lodge any case against the minors.
