Musharraf’s name placed on ECL

Former president Pervez Musharraf’s name has been put in the exit-control list (ECL) for his involvement in several cases.

The Interior Ministry has sent a notification to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Immigration in this regard.

On Friday, the Sindh High Court had ordered Musharraf to not leave the country without seeking prior permission of the courts concerned.

Justice Sajjad Ali Shah had also granted a 21-day extension to Musharraf in the Benazir Bhutto assassination and Akbar Bugti case to appear and surrender before the trial courts.

Musharraf arrived in Karachi on March 24 after four years in self-exile to contest the upcoming general elections under the banner of his party, the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML).

He has filed his nomination papers for the National Assembly from three constituencies – NA-250 (Karachi), NA-32 (Chitral) and NA-48 (Islamabad).
