An anti-terrorism court in Quetta rejected the bail plea of former dictator Pervez Musharraf in the Akbar Bugti murder case, local media reported on Tuesday.
On June 10, non-bailable arrest warrants were issued by the court against Musharraf and former prime minister Shaukat Aziz in the case.
The arrest warrants were issued due to their repeated absence from the court. The former governor of Balochistan, Owais Ghani and former deputy commissioner of Dera Bugti, Samad Lasi were also included in the list of those issued arrest warrants.
Baloch nationalist leader Bugti was killed in a cave on August 26, 2006 during a military crackdown ordered by Musharraf. Bugti was the chief of the Jamhoori Watan Party and an influential tribal chief who controlled the gas-rich district of Dera Bugti.
