Actually, its more like 10 crores and above, and you can mark off E-7 from the list, its way more than that

i.e. forget the cost of construction, the land alone is worth that much these days. So if Mush bought one or two plots in the early 80s for peanuts (aka army prices) he could now afford to buy a land/house worth crores of rupees.
Still £1.25 million (almost Rs 18 crores) is a lot of money

However, not all the sectors went like that. What Musharraf did was basically embezzlement, because he obtained this farmhouse illegally. This was not meant to be allocated for residential purposes.
Now you have his chief architect trying to legitimize the whole thing and saying he CJ was wrong when he prosecuted him. If he was wrong, then why did you have to oust him Musharraf?
