Federal and provincial governments had assured the Balochistan High Court last year that the accused fled the country would be arrested by Interpol and be brought to the court. Despite issuance of arrest warrants, Owais Ahmed Ghani was not arrested while another accused Jam Muhammad Yousuf was made federal minister.The hearing of the case was started in an anti-terrorism court in Sibi but Jam Muhammad Yousuf, Aftab Ahmed Sherpao and Shoaib Nosharwani submitted applications in the BHC, pleading that they had life threats in Sibi. The BHC referred their applications to an ATC in Quetta for final judgment.
