ISLAMABAD:


A district and sessions court on Tuesday adjourned the murder case of Lal Masjid’s cleric Ghazi Abdul Rasheed against General (retired) Pervez Musharraf over the former president’s alleged involvement in the murder during the Lal Masjid military operation in July 2007.


The case was adjourned on the application of Musharraf’s counsel saying he was busy before the high court and could not appear before the district court.

While accepting the application, the court adjourned the case till May 9.

In 2013, the Islamabad police registered a case against Musharraf over the alleged murder of Rasheed and his mother during the Lal Masjid military operation.

The case was filed after Haroon Rasheed, Ghazi’s son, submitted an application at the Aabpara police station for the registration of an FIR against the former president. In the application, Haroon had referred to about 20 pages of the Lal Masjid Commission report, which held the former president responsible for the operation. Musharraf has been in Karachi since April last year.
