Former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf fell sick en-route to the special court for appearance in treason case, a private news channel reported on Thursday.
The special court bench questioned Musharraf’s whereabouts from the DIG security at the hearing.
According to DIG security Jan Muhammad, Musharraf complained of heartache and was immediately taken to the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology.
Chief Prosecutor Akram Shaikh objected to Musharraf’s non-compliance to the court orders of December 24 and January 1 to appear for trial upon which Musharraf’s advocate Khalid Ranjha said that the former president faced security threats earlier and had left home to appear in the court today but complained of heartache en-route to the hearing.
On Wednesday, the special couty had ordered Musharraf to appear in court before 11:30 and warned that warrants for his arrest would be issued in case of his absence from the court hearing.
