Rawalpindi, May 21 (ANI): Former Pakistan military chief and president Pervez Musharraf has been granted bail in the Benazir Bhutto murder case.
The court ordered Musharraf to submit two surety bonds of Rs 1 million each, reports The Express Tribune.
Musharraf's lawyers argued that this was a political case and the responsibility of Benazir's security lay with the officers on duty, not Musharraf.
Former premier Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in 2007.
Another arrested suspect in the case Abdur Rasheed Turabi was denied bail by the court.
Musarraf is now at the centre of two cases, the illegal disposition of judges' case and the Akbar Bugti case.
Musharraf's lawyers plan to apply for bail in the judges' detention case on May 22.
Musharraf returned to Pakistan in March after over four years of self-imposed exile in London and Dubai to take part in the May 11 parliamentary elections for his All Pakistan Muslim League party, but was disqualified from the process. (ANI)
