The local court has issued the arrest warrant for former Chief Minister Balochistan Jam Muhammad Yousaf who was nominated as the accused in the Nawab Akbar Bugti murder case.
According to police, the arrest warrant was issued by the court of
Judicial Magistrate Faisal Hameed on the request of the crime branch
investigating the case on Friday.
Prior to this, the same court had issued the arrest warrants for
former president Pervaiz Musharraf, former Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz
and former home minister Balochistan Shoaib Ahmed Nosherwani.
It is pertinent to note that despite the issuance of arrest warrants, no arrest has been made so far.
Nawab Akbar Bugti was killed in a military action including with his
35 comrades on August 26, 2006 in the mountainous Bhamboor Range near
Kohlu Bugti tribal territory following a two-day battle.
Nawabzada Jamil Bugti, the eldest surviving son of Bugti, had
registered an FIR at the Dera Bugti police station against Musharraf,
Shaukat Aziz, Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao, former governor of Balochistan
Owais Ahmed Ghani, former chief minister Jam Muhammad Yousaf and then
home minister of Balochistan Shoaib Ahmed Nosherwani. He held them all
responsible for his father’s murder. SANA
