ISLAMABAD: The joint investigation team (JIT) probing the Benazir Bhutto murder case on Saturday reached the farmhouse residence of former military ruler Pervez Musharraf on the outskirts of Islamabad, DawnNews reported.

The team was being headed by Additional Director General Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Khalid Qureshi.

The team had also prepared a questionnaire keeping in view the evidence.

The questionnaire includes a query pertaining to not providing adequate security to Benazir despite having received 10 letters of request in that regard.

Earlier on Friday, an anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi rejected Musharraf’s plea for reconstitution of the JIT and handed him over on a four-day physical remand to FIA for interrogation in the case.

Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in a gun-and-bomb attack outside Rawalpindi’s Liaquat Bagh on December 27, 2007 while Musharraf was president. She was killed after addressing an election campaign rally in the city.

The ATC had indicted Musharraf in the case in February 2011, and in August the same year he was declared a proclaimed offender and his property was attached because of his absence.
