According to the JIT report Azeem was also nominated by the SECP chairman for inclusion in the JIT as its member to sabotage investigations," it noted.

The panel said in its report to the Supreme Court that the  FBR provided record of Shairf family from last five year when it was asked to provide record since 1985.
