Musharraf sent to judicial custody for 14 days
Islamabad: A Pakistani court has sent former military ruler General Pervez Musharraf on 14 day judicial remand over the killing of Abdul Rashid Ghazi, a jehadi Pakistani cleric of the Red Mosque during the 2007
In a separate development, the Islamabad High Court dismissed a petition from Haroon Rashid Ghazi, the son of Abdul Rashid, to include Musharraf in the Exit Control List in order to bar him from travelling abroad.
Ghazi's counsel claimed Musharraf was set to leave Pakistan as he had been granted bail in three key cases related to the killing of Baloch nationalist leader Akbar Bugti in 2006, the assassination of Benazir Bhutto and the imposition of emergency in 2007.
However, Justice Riaz Ahmed Khan rejected the petition, saying Musharraf was already in custody and it was the Interior Ministry's responsibility to add names to the Exit Control List.
There was speculation that Musharraf could leave Pakistan after he was granted bail in the Akbar Bugti murder case this week.
