Ghazi murder case: Islamabad court rejects Musharraf's exemption plea

Former president is supposed to appear before the court on November 8

ISLAMABAD:
A district and sessions court in Islamabad rejected former president (retd) Pervez Musharraf ’s exemption plea in the Abdul Rasheed Ghazi murder case, Express News reported on Tuesday.

Musharraf is due to appear before the court on November 8.


On September 2, 2013, a case was registered against Musharraf for the murder of the former cleric and his mother during the Lal Masjid operation.

The case was filed after Haroon Rasheed, Ghazi’s son, submitted an application at the Aabpara police station for the registration of an FIR against the former president. In the application, Haroon had referred to about 20 pages of the Lal Masjid Commission report, which held the former president responsible for the operation.
