The Suddle Commission, investigating the Arsalan Iftikhar-Malik Riaz case on the orders of the Supreme Court, has issued a contempt of court notice to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for not placing the name of the real estate tycoon, Malik Riaz, on the exit-control list (ECL) due to which Malik Riaz was able to leave the country. Sources said the Suddle Commission had asked the Interior Ministry to place Malik Riaz and Dr Arsalan Iftikhar on the ECL but despite these instructions, Malik Riaz succeeded in proceeding to London from where his return had become a big question mark. The commission held the FIA responsible for not implementing its orders. The commission had hired the services of two senior officers of FIA, Shahid Nadeem Baloch and forensic expert Muhammad Akram and on their transfer the Suddle Commission had also issued a show cause notice to the FIA director general.
