Three retired military personnel were taken into custody for their alleged link with former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Chief Faiz Hameed who is facing court-martial proceedings, the military’s media wing announced in a press release on Thursday.

According to a statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), three retired military officers are currently in military custody for “actions prejudicial to military discipline” in connection with the field general court martial (FGCM) proceedings against Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Faiz Hameed.

The statement further said that ongoing investigations are looking into certain other retired officers and their accomplices for allegedly fomenting instability at the behest of and in collusion with vested political interests, according to ISPR.

“In connection with the FGCM proceedings of Lt Gen (Retd) Faiz Hameed, three retired officers are also in military custody for their actions prejudicial to military discipline,” the military’s media affairs wing said.

The Pakistani army had previously announced the arrest of General Hameed on allegations of violating the Army Act. According to a source, Hameed was taken into custody a few days earlier after being summoned for a meeting by a senior military official.

The arrest was prompted by allegations of misconduct made by the owner of a private housing society. This shattered the long-held perception that spy agency chiefs in Pakistan, where the military wields significant influence, are untouchable.
