Kamran Faisal was found hanged in his bedroom on 18th January 2013. He lived alone in his house in Islamabad.
His death took place a day after the NAB Chairman, Fasih Bukhari, told the Supreme Court of the lack of evidences against Raja Pervez Ashraf to arrest him. The Supreme Court has ordered the government to form a commission to investigate the mystery behind the suicide.
Initial post-mortem reports suggest that it was a mere suicide but the deceased's family blamed that Faisal was being pressurized to abandon the Rental Power Case. The family also showed the violence marks on the body of Faisal, suggesting that it may be a murder.
Furthermore, cell-phone records of Kamran Faisal have been collected by the police, including text messages too. The SMS records strengthen the blames of Faisal's family about the work pressure. The last messages sent by Faisal to a friend - whose name has not been disclosed - said that he was asked to visit the NAB Chairman, Fasih Bukhari, and during the meeting with him, Bukhari forced him to leave the Rental Power Case.
The police is investigating the suicide case to date.
