A non-bailable arrest warrant was issued on Saturday against former military ruler Pervez Musharraf in the Ghazi Abdul Rasheed murder case.

According to the Express Tribune, a sessions court in Islamabad issued the warrant.

Ghazi Abdul Rasheed, the cleric of the federal capital's Lal Masjid, was killed during a confrontation between the militants and security forces in July 2007 - led by then president Musharaf.

Issuing the warrants, the Additional Sessions Judge ordered the authorities to produce the former president in the court on March 16 and the court also reportedly dismissed Musharraf's plea filed earlier in connection with his permanent exemption from the court.
