April 18, 2013 15:37

Pakistani authorities today changed the chiefs of all police stations in the federal capital and beefed up security around former military ruler Pervez Musharraf's farmhouse hours after a court cancelled his bail and directed police to arrest him.

Hours after the High Court gave its order, additional policemen were deployed around Musharraf's farmhouse at Chaz Shahzad on the outskirts of Islamabad.

Members of the Anti-Terrorism Squad were also deployed in the area.

All roads leading to the farmhouse were blocked with barriers and cement blocks and people and media personnel were barred from approaching Musharrafs sprawling residence.

A small group of Musharraf's supporters gathered in the area and shouted slogans in his support.
