The sources report that a medical team will also check Musharraf’s complaint regarding his back pain.
On April 19, a chartered private jet took Musharraf to Karachi from Islamabad for the first time since his indictment.
Soon after landing in Karachi, Musharraf was driven away in a convoy of 18 armoured vehicles, including two mobile jammer vehicles and an ambulance, to his residence in Generals Colony off Zamzama in Defence Housing Authority locality.
Earlier, Musharraf was supposed to be treated at PNS Shifa Karachi.
Indicted for treason by a special court, the former military president has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Three major cases linked to his tenure in power include the murder case of Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Bugti. Currently, Musharraf is on bail.

Sheer amount of inconvenience to us residents around his place. They've cordoned off all houses and troubling the residents of the area on a regular basis whenever we step out of our houses. It's like we are house arrest. Court and Musharraf shall take notice of such harassment, inconvenience and the security threat this one man brings eith him to people living in Zamzama.
I suddenly wish I was in the Pakistani army.
My life would have been infinitely better.
His money is earned through his books and his speaking tours internationally. Not one person has ever been able to accuse him of corruption and that's saying apt considering the hatred PPP and nawaz league have for musharraf.
@Uza Syed:
A free man who can't even step out of his gate without a security detail of a 1,000 protectors! Speak of honor of a person who is so much loathed by the masses and even by his own institution which cannot even come out in the open and support him in public and have to rely upon stealth and other unscrupulous means to save the hide of its ex-chief.
@sardarzaheer: But no civilians never handover for Dollar thier own citizens to any other country.
There is generals colony in DHA!
@ Harris: Multi-million dollar homes around the world?? I think you are mixing him up with one of the monumentally corrupt politicians of Pakistan, like the Sharifs or the Bhutto-Zardaris. It has been Pakistan's misfortune that the ballot papers give the people a choice of crooks, scoundrels, thieves, semi-literate people and quite possibly a few murderers. They are in it not for public service but to enrich themselves. In Pakistan periods of military rule have fared a lot better in many ways; law and order, the economy, inflation; things which matter to the common man and woman. And I believe it was Musharraf's time which saw the mushrooming of the TV networks, so you cannot fault him for being tough on the media. The only thing he wasn't tough enough on are the extremists who have made Pakistan an international hub for terrorists.
My dear Harris why cant you see other political culprits with trillion dollars looted money in their accounts, he is facing every case that was imposed on him and none of them in genuine we know it and yes you are right its wasting of time for dragging him in such cases..he should been allowed to contest in election things would have been much different today as a balanced democracy may able to bring result in Pakistan not the current Kingdom of HH NS....in my opinion some body in power should go crazy now by hanging at least half of politicians, judges, bureaucrats, and generals....rest will get all right it self.
This is the way it should be, he is a free man and an honorable man who served his country all his life and this is the time for showing our gratitude for all what he did for his and our beloved motherland. He is OK and none of these minions have guts or balls or even moral authority to come anywhere close to him, he is far superior than these thugs who are roaming around in the corridors of power helping themselves by looting & plundering our national wealth. He deserves our admiration and our gratitude for leading the armed forces of Pakistan to protect and defend Pakistan & its citizens. Good man, President Musharraf, good Pakistanis salute you.
It is only in pakistan where law is different for Rich and poor!!
.....and the charade goes on.
what a waste of time. We all know he would soon fly back to one of his multi-million dollar residences around the world. His army would never let him face punishment by Law, that's for the un-uniformed subjects of this country
