CrimeFIA Joint investigation team interrogates Musharraf in BB murder case

ISLAMABAD: The joint investigation team (JIT) headed by Additional Director General Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Khalid Qureshi on Saturday interrogated the former military ruler Pervez Musharraf in his farmhouse in Chakshahzad in the Benazir Bhutto murder case, Dispatch News Desk (DND) reported.

The investigation team questioned Pervez Musharraf for two hours as it had prepared a questionnaire keeping in view the evidence.

The questionnaire included a query pertaining to not providing adequate security to Benazir despite having received 10 letters of request in that regard.

Earlier on Friday, an anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi rejected Musharraf’s plea for reconstitution of the JIT and handed him over on a four-day physical remand to FIA for interrogation in the case.

Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in a gun-and-bomb attack outside Rawalpindi’s Liaquat Bagh on December 27, 2007 while Musharraf was president. She was killed after addressing an election campaign rally in the city.

The ATC had indicted Musharraf in the case in February 2011, and in August the same year he was declared a proclaimed offender and his property was attached because of his absence.
