His family verified that the former Pakistan President was alive and well, putting an end to speculations that he had died. Waqt News, a Pakistani news agency, had earlier announced on Twitter on June 10 that Musharraf, who was 78 years old, had died. Later, the tweet was removed.
General Musharraf, a former four-star general, has been residing in Dubai since March 2016. After a military takeover in 1999, he became Pakistan's 10th President, serving until 2008, when he resigned to avoid impeachment.

General Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan: Background
In 2007, he was also charged with treason for suspending the constitution. Since March 2016, he has been living in self-imposed exile in Dubai.
When Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif promoted Pervez Musharraf to four-star general in 1998, he had risen to national fame. As a result, Musharraf became the chief of the armed forces.
Musharraf was in charge of the Kargil infiltration, which resulted in the Kargil War between India and Pakistan in 1999.
Following his promotion to the top of the military, Musharraf's relationship with Sharif deteriorated, and Sharif unsuccessfully attempted to depose Musharraf as the country's military commander.
Musharraf was forced to quit as president after facing impeachment following elections in 2008, and went to London in self-imposed exile.
In 2013, he returned to Pakistan to run in the general election, but he was banned after Pakistan's high courts issued arrest warrants for him and former Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz for their suspected roles in the assassinations of Benazir Bhutto and Nawab Akbar Bugti.
