The senior Sui Southern Gas Company officials detained by the Rangers in recent days are allegedly involved in funding militant groups, SSGC Managing Director Khalid Rahman told a parliamentary committee earlier yesterday, adding that many others are in hiding.
“Eight SSGC top management officials have gone underground, following the recent action by the Rangers and I am the only one left in the Company,” Rahman told the National Assembly Petroleum and Natural Resources Committee, chaired by Bilal Ahmed Virk, earlier today.
When asked by Virk how many SSGC officials had been arrested, Rahman said that three had been arrested so far. “I have talked to Director General Rangers and assured him of full cooperation in the investigation against SSGC officials,” he said.
Among the officials facing terrorism financing charges was SSGC Deputy Managing Director Shoaib Warsi.
