About this person
His family has accused former ISI operative Brigadier Imtiaz Ahmed Billa of torturing and killing Abbasi while in his custody. His family said post-mortem reports revealed death as a result of torture and claimed that Benazir Bhutto "herself had informed" Abbasi's wife over Imtiaz Billa's involvement.
