ISLAMABAD: DG FIA Sanaullah Abbassi, taking revolutionary steps, has decided to equip the force with modern technology. Moreover, it has been decided that the complainants and those giving statements against certain crimes, would be engaged through video conference, for inquiry and investigation.
DG FIA further directed for sending documents required for investigations, through e-mail and WhatsApp. This would in turn help speed up the investigation process. The decision was made regarding the ongoing inquiries and to facilitate those who had been coming from farflung areas to record their statements or register complaints.
