ISLAMABAD: The Interior Ministry has constituted a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) in the wake of evidence shared by Sarfaraz Merchant in connection with allegations of money laundering and RAW funding against leaders of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).

The five-member JIT is being headed by Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Director Mazharul Haq Kakakhel.
According to a notification, the JIT will examine Sarfaraz Merchant’s statement and evidence presented to the FIA.
The members of the JIT include Raja Tahirul Iqbal of Sindh Rangers, two members each from IB and ISI.
