Officials reach Islamabad to handcuff Musharraf

The dictator who couldn't face justice

A team from Quetta Crime Branch on Wednesday reached Islamabad to arrest former president Pervez Musharraf in the Akbar Bugti murder case.

Sources investigating the case said that a police team comprising senior officials had reached the federal capital to arrest the former military ruler.

Earlier on Monday, an anti-terrorism court in Quetta had issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Musharraf.

Moreover, on Tuesday, ATC judge Ismail Baloch had rejected a bail application submitted by Musharraf’s lawyer in the same case.

The court had moreover ordered a police team to arrest Musharraf by June 24.

Jamil Bugti, a son of Akbar Bugti, had nominated Musharraf, former prime minister Shaukat Aziz and others in his father’s murder case.

Bugti was killed in a cave in Chalgri area of Bhamboor hills of Dera Bugti district on August 26, 2006 during a crackdown ordered by Musharraf who was president and army chief at the time.
