Chaudhry gave no details regarding how many of them were civilians or military officials. He also declined to name the senior officers who had been fired. "We had to determine why security was breached at army installations. We had to find out what had gone wrong," Chaudhry said. Chaudhry added that several relatives, including women, of senior army officers were also facing trials for allegedly being facilitators of the violence.
