Pakistan court warns Musharraf in case of no-show in Quetta

The Balochistan High Court has warned former Pakistani dictator Gen Pervez Musharraf that a ‘red warrant’ would be issued if he fails to appear in court in connection with the murder of Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti in a military operation in 2006.

Th Balochistan HC  asked Musharraf’s counsel to provide an exact date on which his client would appear in court.

An anti-terrorism court had acquitted the former president in the murder of Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti. But Bugti’s son had challenged the acquittal.

Nawab Akbar Bugti was killed in an operation in Balochistan’s Kohlu district on August 26, 2006.
