PHC orders arrest of interior secretary over FC deployment

The Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Thursday issued arrest warrants for secretary, additional secretary and deputy secretary of the federal interior ministry for failing to abide by court orders.

PHC Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan while hearing a suo moto case pertaining to deployment of Frontier Corps (FC) soldiers in other parts of the county, expressed anger over non-compliance of court orders, seeking a pullout of paramilitary troops.

Officials were directed to appear before the court many times but they did not turn up. The chief justice ordered their arrest as well as suspension of their salaries.
