The federal government on Monday issued directives to transfer Malik Mohammad Iqbal from the position of Director-General Federal Investigation Agency. However,  Tahseen ullah appointed as additional DG FIA.

Moreover, Iqbal has now been appointed as the head of the National Counter-Terrorism Authority (Nacta).

Iqbal had recently been accused of contempt of court for interfering in judicial affairs by writing a letter to the interior ministry which resulted in the transfer of an officer who was investigating the multi-billion-rupee scam in the National Insurance Company (NICL).
