QUETTA, Sept 19: Begum Nawabzada Talal Bugti, a daughter-in-law of Nawab Akbar Bugti, has appealed to Chief Justice of Pakistan Mr Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry to take notice of the arrest of her son Shahzeen Bugti, who is under detention for the last six months.“My son was detained in the Mach central jail without any reason,” she said here on Tuesday, adding that according to her information he was in bad health.

She said that Shahzeen was not involved in any crime but fake cases were registered against him and he had not been produced in any court so far.

“The Chief Justice of Pakistan should take personal notice of my son’s case,” she appealed and demanded that if the government had any proof it should produce it before a court.

Begum Talal Bugti added that hundreds of youths of Balochistan were missing for many years and nobody knew of their whereabouts.
