QUETTA Nov 26 (Online): Anti – Terrorism Court Quetta has declared former PM Shaukat Aziz, Owais Ghani and ex-DC Dera Bugti as absconders in Akbar Bugti murder case.
The court was hearing the case here on Tuesday. Former Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao also showed up on court orders.
The court rejected ex-president Musharraf’s plea seeking exemption, and ordered to produce him on next hearing.
Former prime minister Shaukat Aziz, former governor Balochistan Owais Ahmed Ghani, former district coordination officer (DCO) Abdul Samad Lasi were declared fugitives and the court ordered the authorities to seize their properties.
The hearing was subsequently adjourned to Dec 24.
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.
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 Baloch chieftain sparked angry protests in the country.
