Even after eight years, Benazir Bhutto’s murder case remains mysteriously unresolved.
The former prime minister was assassinated on December 27, 2007 as she was returning after a successful election campaign rally from Liaquat Bagh.
Reportedly, the Benazir Bhutto murder case has failed to reach its logical end despite having as many as 255 hearings in court. Key people from the case have also been killed.
From the day of murder until date, testimonies have been removed and the case seems ever complicated instead of resolved today. One of the most high profile murders of the country’s history has left several questions unanswered.
Among many mysteries are the murder of eight suspects, eyewitnesses and a prosecutor, one after another. The fact that the crime scene was washed hours after the assassination has also not been explained.
Punjab Police carried out the initial investigation of the murder, which was later taken over by the Scotland Yard, United Nations, and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).
Initially, five suspects were arrested, and then two police officers and former president Pervez Musharraf were named as those responsible for the assassination.
The prime accused, Tehreek-e-Taliban’s Baitullah Mehsud, has already been killed along with his seven accomplices in drone attacks.
The man who was seen doing suspicious movements on stage, Khalid Shehenshah, was killed during a targeted attack in Karachi. The public prosecutor was killed in Islamabad.
As many as eight challans of the case were presented in the court, while seven judges hearing the case were replaced. The case has seen no significant developments in the many years that it has been heard in court.
The mystery could have been solved if the man who got her killed and benefited most with her death, would have tried sincerely. First the Postmortem was not allowed, then a hand written paper was flared in the air – Will of BB – to take over the command of the party. And more dramas like involving the London Police and the UN prob-team. Those billions spent on these dramas could be used to open 10 schools for the poor Pakistan children. Corruption rules.
