ISLAMABAD: According to sources who spoke to Geo News, the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) has received the forensic report on the powder that was discovered in enigmatic letters that were delivered to Supreme Court justices and judges of higher courts.
Fear spread throughout the judiciary when letters were received by at least four Supreme Court judges, eight Islamabad High Court judges, and six Lahore High Court judges.
The threatening letter was most recently received by Justice Ali Baqar Najafi of LHC.
The CTD started an investigation and filed two FIRs against unidentified individuals.
The sources revealed that the letters contained arsenic diluted with white powder. They added that a larger concentration of the substance can be “very poisonous” and that the powder included 10% arsenic.
The CCTV footage from the cameras placed next to the letterboxes at the Satellite Town, Rawalpindi, sub-divisional post office has been provided to the investigators.
According to the sources, Nadra is assisting in the identification of the suspects shown in the recordings.
