A Pakistani court has extended the custody of former president General Pervez Musharraf till October 30 in the Lal Masjid case and ruled that the next hearing would be held at his Chak Shahzad farmhouse, which has been turned into a sub-jail.
"The judicial magistrate has extended his custody till October 30. He has also said that the next hearing of the case on November 8 would be held at his Chak Shahzad farmhouse which has already been converted into a sub-jail," one of Musharraf's lawyer Ilyas Siddiqui told PTI.
His custody was extended yesterday during a hearing at the magistrate's court here. Musharraf was not produced before the Court due to security concerns.
His party said Musharraf would remain in Pakistan and fight all cases against him even if he gets bail. However, many say he could flee the country.
