Court reissues warrant for Akbar BugtiÂ’s grandson
2006-03-01
An Anti-Terrorism Court has reissued non-bailable warrants for the arrest of Sardar Brahamdagh Khan, grandson of Nawab Akbar Bugti, in the Pakistan Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC) bombing case. Brahamdagh Khan and an alleged accomplice, Abdul Hameed, have already been declared absconders by the court. On Tuesday, the case investigation officer submitted a report before the court stating that the warrants could not be executed as the men were missing.

The court reissued the warrants and adjourned until March 6. In normal practice, trial courts declare absconders as proclaimed offenders after issuing the warrants twice or thrice. In case the court decides to try the absconders in absentia, it appoints a lawyer to defend them. The men are wanted in connection with the November 15 bombing of the PIDC complex in Karachi, which killed four people. According to the police indictment, two other men – Aziz Khan and Mangla Khan – arrested within 24 hours of the blast have confessed to carrying out the bombing before a judicial magistrate. The men have testified that Brahamdagh Bugti ordered them to bomb the office of the Pakistan Petroleum Limited in the PIDC complex, the police told the court.
