Bugti murder: Footages sought for inclusion as evidence
The investigation team tasked to conduct an inquiry into the Nawab Akbar Bugti murder case has contacted media organisations to seek help in collecting evidence.
The officer in-charge of the investigation team from the Crime Branch, Balochistan, has sent letters to news channels and offices of newspapers in Quetta, seeking footages pertaining to Nawab Bugti’s murder case to include them as evidence.
The footages sought are those of the cave where Nawab Bugti was killed and his funeral prayers along with interviews of the chief accused, former President General (retd) Pervez Musharraf.
The former governor and chief minister of Balochistan, Nawab Bugti, was killed along with 30 of his men during a military operation at Tratani, an area between Kohlu and Dera Bugti, in August 2006.
Earlier, the federal government had sought five documents, including copies of the FIR and arrest warrants of the accused from the provincial government for extradition of the accused nominated in the murder case.
The investigation team formed by the provincial government has been facing difficulties since the very first day of its investigation, and is yet to record statements from the accused nominated in the FIR.
Jamil Bugti, the eldest son of Nawb Bugti, had earlier stated in a petition that court orders were yet to be implemented in letter and spirit and complained of a lack of interest on part of the investigators.
Others accused in the case include former prime minister Shaukat Aziz, former governor of Balochistan Owais Ahmed Ghani, former chief minister Jam Yousaf and former home minister Shoaib Nosherwani.

We all made a promise to Pakistan after 1971 that we will not lose another inch of Pakistan no matter what. All 100 million of us in Punjab are willing to go to Balochistan to fight our enemies who want to break our Pakistan. Death to our enemies and death to all the traitors in Pakistan.
@Salar:
Do not forget that he was playing the hands of enemy in last years of his life.
He was facilitating Indians' arms and ammo flow from eastern border for BLA and other such gangs.
I feel sad that he met such end........but I read somewhere....End is always bad.!!!!
Dont forget that he was the only Baloch Sardar who voted to include Balochistan in Pakistan, all other Baloch Sardars and noteables rejected Pakistani occupation of Balochistan
Where were the courts and law enforcement agencies when the sons offered large sums for committing murder. Incitement to kill is a serious crime! No action whatsoever.
@A J Khan: Well said, Sir. Cannot agree with you more on this curse called A.K Bugti & his family on Pakistan.
This man was a nuisance when he was alive and a bigger hazard when he is dead. Some people are a curse in every form of the meaning.
