Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Tuesday said the body of Taliban chief Mullah Akhtar Mansour, who was killed in a US drone strike in Balochistan earlier this month, had been handed over to his heirs in Afghanistan after completion of DNA tests.
In a press statement, Nisar said the body of Mansour was “handed over to heirs in Afghanistan after fulfilling all legal requirements”.
The interior minister said “the government has arrested the suspects who facilitated Mullah Mansour in acquiring a Pakistani NIC. These include an assistant commissioner, a Risaldar-major and several FIA and NADRA officials”.
Nisar further said that a FIA official had assisted Mullah Mansour’s wife in acquiring the NIC.
