The Balochistan High Court (BHC) on Tuesday rejected the bail plea of former president Pervez Musharraf in the Bugti murder case.

A two-member BHC bench, comprising Justice Ghulam Mustafa Mengal and Justice Naeem Akhtar, heard the case and rejected pre-arrest bail plea of the former military chief.

It may be recalled that the BHC had reserved its verdict in the case on July 22 after an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Quetta rejected his application.

Musharraf has been accused of orchestrating the murder of Bugti, the chief of his tribe, who was killed in a military operation in 2006.
