A three-member committee, formed to probe the Dera Ismail Khan jailbreak, completed its investigation and submitted the report to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government on Monday.
The report stated that the DS, DPO, Elite Force and jail officials failed in performing their duties. The attack was aimed at freeing 14 prisoners, while the rest of the prisoners were set free to occupy the administration.
The report added that the jailbreak was planned by experienced individuals who were not locals.
The committee was formed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattak and comprised of Board of Revenue Senior Member Waqar Ayub, Home Department Special Secretary Alamgir Shah and Additional Inspector General Police Akhtar Ali Shah.
During its probe, the committee recorded statements of over 100 people including those of the KP chief minister, chief secretary and the IG.
On July 30, in one of the biggest jailbreaks in the history of Pakistan, militants helped 243 prisoners escape for the Dera Ismail Khan prison after killing 12 people including six policemen. During the jailbreak, five militants were also killed by the security forces.
In April 2012, around 300 prisoners had escaped during a similar jailbreak in Bannu.
