ISLAMABAD:
Former president Pervez Musharraf was transferred from Police Lines Headquarters to Chak Shahzad farmhouse on Saturday evening, Express News reported.
Musharraf’s farmhouse was declared a sub-jail for his 14-day judicial remand on the basis of security issues and threats to his life on Saturday.
Earlier, district authorities had rejected a request made by the SSP Yasin Farooq, to declare the farmhouse a sub-jail on the basis of a lack of justification.
Security has been tightened around the farmhouse in preparation. Musharraf will be brought to court on May 4 from the sub-jail.
No visitors allowed
SSP Islamabad also issued a notice prohibiting all visitors from meeting the former dictator Pervez Musharraf while he is in custody at the police headquarters.
The verbally delivered orders prohibit all party workers and lawyers, including those representing Musharraf from meeting the former dictator.
Sahiba Musharraf, Ahmed Raza Kasuri, Dr Amjad and other aides were reported to have met him at the headquarters yesterday.
Clashes that occured post the hearing earlier today, between All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) party workers and Rangers, resulted in a ban to avoid further tussles.
