Around 25 witnesses had recorded their statements for the case, however, their statements will now be recorded again.
Musharraf, along with other suspects, will be charged again in the murder case.
Earlier, the former president had his pre-arrest bail approved by Sindh High Court. He was granted a 10 day bail period, which was later extended.
Benazir was killed after an election rally in Rawalpindi on December 27, 2007.
In 2010, a UN report said the murder could have been prevented and accused Musharraf’s government of failing to provide Bhutto with adequate protection.

what did musharraf had to do with benazir's death?? NOTHING!! false charges. this case is absurd. she got of the car for no reason.
If Musharraf is guilty of Benazir's murder, only because some think he did not provide enough security, forget about the people that pushed her to get out of the car, then what about the Zardari Government not providing any security what so ever to the people of Pakistan, the daily bloodshed of innocent people all over the nation? Zardari is guilty of each and every murder during his reign. Never before these kind of killings took place in the country. People are getting killed on daily bases but Mr. Zardari does not think he should come out of his own security shell and talk to the nation. Not once he came on the TV and at least showed his concerned and sympathy to the families of the killed. He think by paying cash to the familieis he has done his duty. All the innocent Pakistani's getting killed by the drones Zardari would not tell the nation what he is doing to stop that. He doesn't speak because it is not his concern and he does not care. He is guilty of each and every life that is lost to the drones.
We should forget about a few years old cases against army dictator. Yet we should pursue the decades old cases against the elcted leaders. The murder and high treason charges are highest crimes against the state and people and nothing to sweep under the rug. Do not forget the juiciary had pushed and pushed to write Swiss letter to the elected PM. Yet that was a useless effort and everybody in the world knew that. Where is Islamic equality when it comes to rightwing leaders and generals?
The judiciary is tightening its noose around the neck of Musharraf who must be regretting his decision to come back to Pakistan and being given no time to revive his party.
May Allah keep Musharraf safe from all evils.
@abcde. What an IQ you have. Had they not washed the site, they would have found Musharraf's finger print? If you remember, Musharraf was the one who asked her not to go to this rally. Also, Musharraf was not the one who asked her to get out of the car! Buddy, it is because of liars like you that we suffering.
@Omer:
What exactly is it that the UN said? Do you even know? It said that we were hindered in our job by the military authorities, and we were not granted access to a number of key personnel. It also implied that the then DG-MI essentially covered up her murder. He was later absolved by a jury of three other army men, a useless exercise lacking all credibility. Musharraf will probably get away with this, but that treason charge that awaits him, he's nailed in that one. No wiggle room whatsoever given that he himself confessed on TV to breaking the constitution.
Maybe this time they will rope in the actual culprits as they are now out of office except one.
@Malatesh. What an argument! UN, Scotland yard say otherwise, but your word is above them right!
@Malatesh: Mohammad has a valid point. Why start again and again? UN, Scotland Yard and our own Police have tried their hands so who's gonna investigate afresh?
@Mohammad: I fully endores your views in this respect.
@Mohammad: Do you mean guilty should not be punished at all. since he was a former dictator?
Tomorrow he may kill Imran also.. Let the court to its job transperently and convict the guilt whoever might be.
Again ?? even after investigations have been done by UN and Scotland Yard.. You people are wasting your time..
The case of a nation that is stuck in past and never plans for future.
stop wasting your time on Musharraf.. BB lost her life due to her advisors to get out of sunroof.. prosecute these advisors along with the TTP.
