ISLAMABAD:
Bailable arrest warrants for former president retired General Pervez Musharraf, that were issued by a local court in Islamabad, were delivered to Karachi police by Aabpara police on Friday.
The warrants were issued against the ex-president in the murder case of Lal Masjid cleric Ghazi Abdul Rasheed. The Aabpara police also obtained surety bonds for Musharraf worth Rs100,000.
The next hearing for the Abdul Rashid Ghazi murder case will take place on April 2, chaired by the Additional Sessions Judge Wajid Ali Khan. The court had also ordered Musharraf’s appearance in the hearing.
Musharraf’s counsel had previously questioned the jurisdiction of the court as a case regarding Lal Masjid is already pending in Supreme Court. He had also requested exemption from appearing in court for this case.
