Under the direction of DSP Javed Asif, a nine-person Lahore Police squad went to Adiala Jail to question the former foreign minister.
To capture Qureshi’s statement, the team—which included specialists from the Punjab Forensic Science Agency—brought contemporary technology. The group also had a polygraph test kit in their luggage.
Lahore Police have been to Adiala Jail three times in order to look into Qureshi.
The investigative team looked into cases that were filed at several police stations, including Shadman, Sarwar Road, Mughalpura, Shahdara, Race Course, Gulberg, and Gujarpura, according to sources who spoke with ARY News.
Prior to this, a Lahore anti-terrorism court (ATC) granted Shah Mahmood Qureshi, the leader of the PTI, a five-day physical remand in eight charges pertaining to the incident on May 9.
