Col. (r) Asif Zaman, the DG appointed under the PTI administration, was fired, leaving the position vacant.

It should be noted that Col. Asif Zaman’s contract as the DG PSB was terminated by the Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on the advice of the Ministry of IPC since he did not carry out his responsibilities in accordance with the assigned mandate.

Today, Mohammad Ibrar serves as the acting DG and manages the position on a temporary basis.

We have been working to select the most qualified applicant for the position ever since the position became open. Nonetheless, a system exists for such a significant appointment. “We went through the system and shortlisted names for the final interview,” the official added.

He continued by saying that the credentials of all the finalists were strong.
