The statement further mentioned that ongoing investigations are examining the involvement of certain retired officers and their associates in activities that allegedly aimed to destabilize the country, influenced by political interests.

On August 12, the FGCM process began against Lt Gen (Retd) Faiz Hameed, who was taken into military custody related to the Top City case.
