Pakistan takes criminal action against six officials for accessing personal information of Army chief’s family

Islamabad, May 6 (PTI) Pakistan authorities have initiated criminal proceedings against six officials who allegedly accessed the personal information of Army chief General Asim Munir's family, a media report said on Saturday.

The National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra), the top national body tasked with issuing national identity cards and passports by storing data of citizens, took action against its employees following probes.

An informed source told the Dawn newspaper that the elements on whose behest the breach took place were also being acted against and as many as six Nadra employees were dismissed from service for illegally accessing the Chief of Army Staff's family’s record, following four separate inquiries.
