ISLAMABAD: The investigation into the death of Islamabad Police Senior Superintendent of Police (SP) Adeel Akbar has reached its conclusion, with the inquiry panel ruling out the possibility that the officer took his own life, according to official sources.

The panel also recorded testimonies from individuals close to the officer, including his wireless operator, driver, and other staff members who were present or involved on the day of the incident. Additionally, the psychologist who was treating SP Adeel Akbar was questioned as part of the investigation.
It was revealed that SP Adeel had consulted his doctor twice in the days leading up to his death. The inquiry examined his mental health condition, but based on the available evidence and testimonies, the panel found no signs indicating suicidal intent.
