Pervez Musharraf indicted for Baloch leaders murder

Date:

Quetta: Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has been indicted by an anti-terrorism court for the murder of Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Bugti.

Musharraf’s counsel had requested the court to allow his client’s exemption from appearing in the court. He said Musharraf was unable to appear in the court as he was undergoing back pain.

The court said Musharraf would be granted exemption from appearance in the court only after a medical board would update it about the former army strongman’s health.

The hearing of the case was subsequently adjourned to Feb 4.

Baloch nationalist leader Akbar Khan Bugti was killed in a cave on Aug. 26, 2006 during a military crackdown ordered by Musharraf who was president and army chief at the time.
