Only a day after Abdul Khaliq Sheikh was appointed as the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Director General (DG) in place of Jan Muhammad, who was removed from the post, the Interior Ministry on Tuesday withdrew the notification for Sheikh’s appointment.
The ministry issued the office order for the purpose. Sheikh will now serve only as DG National Police Bureau.
