Musharraf indicted in Bugti murder case

QUETTA: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Quetta on Wednesday indicted former military ruler General (retd) Pervez Musharraf in the murder case of Balochistan nationalist leader Akbar Khan Bugti.

   

The court also indicted Musharraf’s former interior minister Aftab Sherpao and Mir Shoaib Nosherwani in the same case.

The former president was not present in the court when his indictment was announced. Therefore, the court also expressed its resentment over the consistent absence of Musharraf from the proceedings.

Later, the court adjourned the case till February 4, adding that it would hear the case on daily basis following that date.

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

Bugti had led an armed campaign to press for provincial autonomy and a greater share of profits from Balochistan’s natural resources. The death of the colourful, British-educated chieftain sparked angry protests in the country.
