Saleem Shahzad was abducted by unidentified assailants in 2011 and his tortured dead body was later recovered from Mandi Bahauddin on May 29, 2011.
Government constituted a special commission to investigate the death after international unions of journalists blamed Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) for the murder. The commission submitted its report and it was made public. The report failed to clearly decide whether who was responsible for the death of journalist.
