An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Quetta acquitted on Monday former military ruler General (retd) Pervez Musharraf in the case of the murder of Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) leader Nawab Akbar Bugti who was killed in a military operation in 2006.

The court also acquitted former federal home minister Aftab Khan Sherpao, and former provincial home minister Shoaib Nosherwani.

During the hearing, the court also rejected the request by Nawabzada Jamil Akbar Bugti, son of Akbar Bugti, to order exhumation of his father’s body to ensure the body buried in Dera Bugti was that of his late father.

Pervez Musharraf indicted in Akbar Bugti murder case

Akbar Bugti was killed along with his 26 comrades during an operation in the mountains of Dera Bugti in August, 2006. Musharraf, who was president at the time, had directed the military operation.

Musharraf had constituted a federal negotiation team headed by Mushahid Hussain Syed, Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and the late Makhdoom Amin Faheem in March 2005 that held numerous meetings with Akbar Bugti.

Murder case: Musharraf is seeking apology, says Bugti’s son

In January 2015, an ATC had indicted Musharraf in the case of the murder of JWP leader. Sherpao and Nausherwani were also indicted.

In December 2015, Jamil Bugti revealed Musharraf had sent an apology through his lawyer, urging to accept the killing of Akbar Bugti as God’s will.

“Our stance is clear – We won’t accept anyone’s apology regarding Nawab Bugti’s murder,” Jamil said talking to the media during Nawab Bugti murder case hearing at Anti-Terrorist Court.

in those 60+ years the best thing ever happened in Baluchistan was the death of Bhugti .. I wish rest of those Bhugti and other exiled Leader be dead by now ..

 

[Humble Analyst]

Well this case was wrong from the beginning, it was Bugti actions against Government which led to his death. These Sardars have caused nothing but trouble for Balochs and Pakistan.

Seemingly, he will be acquitted from all the political cases against him. And then he will step in politics with strong team and with powerful role.

 

[tarrar]

He was falsely accused by the corrupt. Akbar Bugti was killed by his own people so that PA could falsely be framed. Congrats to Gen. Musharraf.

Folks who raise weapons against the state by being foreign agents need to be shown their place before it's too late. Pak state has learnt its lesson after Indian agent Sheikh Mujib fiasco.

Well, he was very comfortable with MQM, but didn't get along with Bugti. As far as Bugti is concerned, the conflict has its roots in the Dr. Shazia case. Then everything spiraled out of control.
