QUETTA: President Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP), Shahzain Bugti on Monday announced to challenge the acquittal of the key accused in Akbar Bugti’s murder case, hours after an Anti Terrorism Court (ATC) acquitted former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf and others in the case.
Addressing a press conference here at Bugti House, Nawabzada Shahzain Bugti said he does not accept the verdict of the Anti Terrorism Court, acquitting the key accused in Akbar Bugti’s murder case.
He said the ATC reached at the verdict in spite of the fact that ‘our counsels had presented all the relevant evidence before the court’.
Leader of the Bugti clan in Balolchistan, Akbar Khan Bugti was killed in a cave on August 26, 2006 during a military crackdown ordered by Musharraf, who was president and army chief at the time.
