To find out the cause of Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party's senator Usman Khan Kakar's death, the Balochistan government on Thursday formed a judicial commission.
The additional secretary of the home department, in a notification, said the Balochistan government has set up a judicial commission comprising two judges — Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan and Justice Nazir Ahmad Langu from the Balochistan High Court — after approval from the court's chief justice.
The judicial commission, which has been established under the Balochistan Tribunals of Inquiries Ordinance, 1969, has been tasked to find out the cause of Kakar's death and submit a report within 30 days.
The development comes four days after the Balochistan government had proposed the formation of a judicial commission to probe the death of senator Kakar.
Usman Kakar, a senior leader of the PkMAP, had passed away on June 21 in Karachi.
