In a recent development, Bushra Bibi, the wife of former Prime Minister and Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, has been granted bail until May 23 by the Lahore High Court (LHC) in the Al-Qadir Trust case. The court accepted the plea presented by Bushra Bibi’s defense lawyer, Khawaja Haris, who requested a 10-day protective bail for his client. This decision comes amidst an ongoing investigation by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against Bushra Bibi.
Earlier today, Bushra Bibi filed a plea for protective bail in the Al-Qadir Trust case, citing the ongoing NAB investigation as a potential threat of arrest. The Al-Qadir Trust case has garnered significant attention, and the bail application aimed to secure her freedom until May 23, protecting her from potential arrest by the NAB.
In response to rumors circulating about Bushra Bibi’s arrest, the Federal Interior Minister, Rana Sanaullah, categorically denied these reports, stating that there is no truth to them.
Bushra Bibi and Imran Khan appeared before the Lahore High Court, where the defense lawyer argued for the necessity of protective bail, given the ongoing investigation. Recognizing the merits of the plea, the court granted bail to Bushra Bibi until May 23, allowing her to avoid potential arrest during this period.
The Al-Qadir Trust case has been a subject of scrutiny, with the NAB actively investigating alleged financial irregularities and misconduct. The NAB’s investigation aims to determine the veracity of the allegations and establish accountability where necessary.
