KARACHI: Chief Justice Sindh High Court Musheer Alam on Tuesday appointed Justice Sajjad Ali Shah as the investigation officer for the Khanani and Kalia money laundering case and directed him to submit a report within three days, DawnNews reported.

Earlier on Saturday, Director General Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Waseem Ahmed said that the exoneration of suspects in the Khanani and Kalia case was questionable.

Ahmed had alleged that “a large sum of money” was used for the exoneration.

The Supreme Court subsequently took a suo motu notice of DG FIA’s remarks and directed Chief Justice Sindh High Court to thoroughly investigate the matter.
