KARACHI (Web Desk) – The government has formed a new joint investigation team (JIT) to re-investigate the 2012 Baldia factory fire case that left over 260 workers dead.
A report prepared and submitted in court by the previous JIT, blamed Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) for the incident. The party denies its involvement.
Sources said the newly formed body would be headed by Additional IG Khadim Hussain Bhatti, and would draw FIA Director Shahid Hayat, DIG Mushtaq Mahar and officials from Rangers and security agencies as its other members.
Two days back, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had promised a reinvestigation into the tragic incident where a fire swept through the factory killing 260 workers. He vowed to bring the culprits to book for justice to the families of the victims.
