Bushra Bibi gets bail in 190m pounds case
Pakistan
She will remain in prison in Iddat marriage case
RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) - An Accountability Court of Islamabad approved the bail plea of Imran Khan's wife Bushra Bibi in the 190 million pounds reference case.
Accountability Court Judge Muhammad Ali Waraich presided over the hearing against the PTI’s founder and Bushra Bibi in Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi.
The court approved Bushra Bibi’s pre-arrest bail request, providing some relief in the ongoing legal battles faced by the former first lady.
However, prison officials stated that she cannot be released due to her conviction in the Iddat case.
"Despite the bail being approved, she cannot be released as she is serving a sentence in the Iddat case," said jail authorities.
During the hearing, Deputy Prosecutor General Sardar Muzaffar Abbasi argued that the arrest of Bushra Bibi is not wanted as the NAB chairman has not issued his arrest warrant.
