One time permission: Shahzain Bugti leaves country

LAHORE: The chief of the Jamhoori Watan Party Nawabzada Shahzain Bugti left on Thursday for Singapore with his family in order to seek treatment for his ailing mother. The family was granted one-time permission by the government after an earlier refusal. FIA officials on July 16 had stopped Bugti, grandson of the late Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Bugti, from travelling because his name was on the Exit Control List.
