Interim charge sheet into BB murder case was presented in Anti-Terrorism Court Rawalpindi. FIA counsel informed the court that former president Pervez Musharraf has been included as accused in the charge sheet, adding that FIA had been trying to investigate him but all in vain, therefore, he has been declared absconder.
