A court in northwest Pakistan today directed police to declare former President Pervez Musharraf a proclaimed offender and confiscate his property if he failed to cooperate with the probe into the whereabouts of a man allegedly detained by security agencies during his tenure. The district and sessions court in Abbottabad in North West Frontier Province issued the order in response to a petition filed by the family of the missing man. In the petition, the family had accused Musharraf of having a role in the abduction of the man. Mohammad Iqbal, the lawyer for the complainants, said he was satisfied with the court's decision . Police had been investigating the matter for the past six to seven months and had accepted that they cannot arrest Musharraf and others named in the complaint, Iqbal said.
