Islamabad: The three-member committee probing into the Punjab governor’s assassination briefed Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Saturday.
Sources said that the committee told Malik that murder of the slain governor was an individual act of alleged assassin Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri as his affiliation with any religious or political group had not been proved during the investigation.
The committee added that other members of the governors’ security staff are also being questioned, adding the father and brothers of Mumtaz Qadri were released after interrogation.
“It has not proved so far that any person influenced Qadri to kill Salman Taseer”, the committee said.
