Former Pakistani military leader Pervez Musharraf was arrested in Islamabad today, a day after fleeing a court where judges had revoked a bail agreement on charges relating to his 2007 declaration of emergency rule.
Pakistan’s Geo network and other channels broadcast footage of Musharraf, clad in a loose shirt and baggy trousers, entering a judicial magistrate’s office this morning surrounded by police. Musharraf is in police custody and has 48 hours from the time he turned himself in to appear before a judge, his lawyer Qamar Afzal said by phone.
