ISLAMABAD: Bushra Bibi, wife of PTI founding chairman Imran Khan, has secured an extension in her interim bail until February 7.
The Islamabad District Sessions Court heard the plea filed by Bushra Bibi for interim bail in a case registered at the Ramna police station.
During the hearing, Bushra Bibi’s lawyer Ansar Kiani requested an exemption from attendance in the court.
The prosecutor, Chaudhry Zahid Asif, argued that Bushra Bibi interim bail should be cancelled. He told the court that she had not been interrogated in jail and therefore, her interim bail should not be extended.
Her lawyer argued that Bushra Bibi is defending herself in all the cases and that the police should interrogate her in jail where she has been incarcerated.
Busrha Bibi was taken into custody from inside Adiala Jail following the court convicted her in a £190 million Al-Qadir Trust case. The court sentenced her 7 years in prison in the £190 million Al-Qadir Trust case.
The former first lady reached Adiala Jail to join her incarcerated husband as the NAB court was scheduled to pronounce its verdict in the Toshakhana-II case.
An Accountability Court awarded a 14-year jail term to former Prime Minister Imran Khan and seven years to Bushra Bibi in a £190 million Al-Qadir Trust case.
The former prime minister was also fined one million rupees while his Bushra Bibi was fined 0.5 million in a case known as the £190 million corruption case or Al-Qadir Trust case.
The court pronounced that their sentences would be extended for six and three months if they failed to pay the fine.
Bushra Bibi was taken into custody from the courtroom inside the Adiala jail.
