Elected members of the Parliament from all constituencies should be involved in the investigation.
A case should be registered against former commissioner Rawalpindi Captain (R) Muhammad Mahmood and former land collector Tabish immediately and they should be arrested and all secrets should be revealed after investigating them on merit.
