Warrants for Musharraf’s guarantors in Bugti case; QUETTA: An anti-terrorism court issued on Monday non-bailable arrest warrants for two guarantors of former president retired Gen Pervez Musharraf in the Nawab Akbar Bugti murder case and directed the police to produce the main accused at the next hearing. The court said Mumtaz Hussain and Nazir Ahmed, who had submitted surety bonds, should be arrested as the accused had failed to comply with its order of attending the hearing. Directives for Gen Musharraf to attend the court proceedings have been issued for four times in the past, but he has remained absent. Judge Tariq Anwar Kasi confirmed on Monday bail of former interior minister and leader of the Qaumi Watan Party, Aftab Mohammad Khan Sherpao, and former home minister Mir Shoaib Nausherwani in the case. Nawabzada Jamil Akbar Bugti has nominated Mr Musharraf, former prime minister Shuakat Aziz, former governor Owais Ahmed Ghani, late chief minister Jam Mohammad Yousuf, Mr Sherpao, Mr Nausherwani and former district coordination officer of Dera Bugti, Abdul Samad Lasi, in the murder case of his father. The hearing was adjourned to April 7.
