Ejazul Haq said he will send a letter to the army chief and also meet him (COAS) in this connection.

To a question he said he is consulting his legal experts to pursue the case which he said is still alive. He said there is no need of filing fresh FIR and name of the suspected people could be included in the old FIR.
