ISLAMABAD, Oct 2 A former director of Intelligence Bureau has served a legal notice on former IB chief Brig (retd) Imtiaz Ahmed seeking an apology and compensation of Rs10 million for accusing him of bugging phones of apex court judges during the first tenure of Benazir Bhutto and distributing funds among MNAs to make them switch their loyalty.
The notice by Rana Abdul Baqi said the relevant law would be set in motion if a written apology was not tendered and damages not paid.
In a recent article, Brig Imtiaz alleged that during the ‘operation midnight jackal’, the then IB chief Masood Sharif and his staff officer Abdul Baqi had taken members of the National Assembly to Swat in a C-130 plane and distributed hundreds of thousands of rupees among them. He also levelled several other allegations against Mr Baqi.
