Though the military provided no additional details, Hameed was considered close to former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is in jail on multiple charges since 2023.
Hameed was detained last year following an internal probe ordered by Pakistan’s Supreme Court into allegations linked to Top City project scam. The Top City company had been developing land near Islamabad for a private housing project.
Hameed, who served as the director general of the ISI from 2019 to 2021, was considered extremely powerful when he headed the ISI.
He was appointed to the coveted post when then ISI chief and current Army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir was removed from the post.
