LAHORE: Chief Justice of Pakistan Asif Saeed Khosa on Thursday took notice of a letter which Brigadier (retd) Asad Munir wrote before committing suicide.

The letter was addressed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan in which former Member Estate Capital Development Authority (CDA) said he was giving his life in the hope that the chief justice would bring positive changes in the system where incompetent people are playing with the life and honor of citizen in the name of accountability, in a reference to National Accountability Bureau.
