Islamabad : A Pakistani court hearing the Benazir Bhutto murder case has rejected the details of the properties and assets of former president Pervez Musharraf – declared a fugitive in the case – and ordered a new and complete list to be drawn up, a media report said Sunday.
Rawalpindi special anti-terrorist court judge Shahid Rafiq, hearing the petition of Islamabad-Rawalpindi district administration for attaching Musharraf’s property, declared the details submitted as “incomplete”, the Urdu daily Jang reported Sunday.
The judge ordered the authorities to submit a revised list by July 23.
In the details submitted before the court, it was said Musharraf owned a country villa built on five acres of land in Chak Shahzad, Park Road in Islamabad.
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), probing the case, came to know from the State Bank of Pakistan that Musharraf operated 15 accounts in six banks with a total of (Pakistani) Rs.8 crore.
The state prosecutor said that they had written to the revenue boards in all the four provinces seeking details of any property held by Musharraf.
A letter had been sent to the army’s adjutant general for information as well as the Defence Housing Authority but no reply had been received despite a reminder.
The court had June 11 reissued an arrest warrant against Musharraf on the request of the FIA.
On the request for confiscation of Musharraf’s property, the court has asked for all details of the former president’s property.
On May 30, an anti-terrorism court in Pakistan had declared Musharraf a “proclaimed offender” or fugitive for failing to cooperate in the probe into the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.
Bhutto was Pakistan’s first and only woman prime minister. She was in office for two terms 1988-1990 and 1993-1996.
She was assassinated in December 2007, after attending a rally of her Pakistan Peoples Party in Rawalpindi, two weeks before the scheduled general election of 2008.
