Arrest warrants have been issued for SSP Loralai Ashfaq Anwar, SP Javed Khan, Assistant Director FIA Khalid Jamil, one Nisar Khan and a Bilawal House employee, Mehrani.
The court has also summoned the witnesses on February 9 to record their statements.
Former prime minister Benazir Bhutto was killed in a gun and suicide bomb attack after an election rally, weeks after she returned to Pakistan in 2007 from years in self-imposed exile.
The government at the time blamed Tehreek-e-Taliban militants and former president General Pervez Musharraf said he warned her of the danger she faced.
