In the Benazir Bhutto’s murder case, the special anti-terrorism court (ATC) of Rawalpindi on Tuesday extended the judicial remand of former military ruler Pervez Musharraf to May 28, local media reported.

Judge of ATC’s special court Chaudhry Habibur Rehman heard the case. During the hearing, the assistant to Musharraf counsel requested the court to postpone the hearing as Ahmed Raza Kasuri was out of the country.

The court granted the request. Azhar Chaudhry, the special prosecutor of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), moreover requested the court to provide him security on which the judge said the prosecutor would continue to enjoy extra protection granted to him for security reasons.

Moreover, the court also adjourned the hearing of Musharraf’s bail plea in the judges’ detention case to May 20.
