Islamabad: Bushra Bibi, wife of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, has got a big relief. He was released from jail on Thursday after being behind bars for almost nine months in the Toshakhana corruption case. Bibi has been released after paying a bail bond of Rs 10 lakh. A day earlier, the Islamabad High Court had granted him bail in a case of alleged corruption related to purchase and sale of government gifts. 50-year-old Bibi was arrested on January 31.

PTI confirmed

The information about Bibi’s release has been given by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party through WhatsApp message. Confirming the release, the party said, ‘Former first lady Bushra Bibi has been released from jail.’ The message said that his arrest took place on January 31, when he and Imran Khan were convicted in a corruption case. Babi was sentenced to 14 years in prison.

What was the matter?

In the Toshakhana case, it was alleged that Imran Khan and his third wife Bushra Bibi were involved in corruption. Both had earned profits by selling gifts received from foreign dignitaries. During the bail hearing, Islamabad High Court Judge Miangul Hasan Aurangzeb asked the investigating officer of the Federal Investigation Agency about the need for further interrogation of Bushra Bibi. During this, the officer said that the investigation has been completed and now there is no need for questioning.

Imran Khan is in jail

Imran Khan has been lodged in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail for 350 days in three different cases. The local court of Islamabad convicted him in the Toshakhana case on August 5, 2023, after which he was arrested from his house in Zaman Park, Islamabad and sent to jail. He was later convicted in two more cases. However, Imran has been acquitted in all these cases. After being released in the fake Nikah case on July 13, he was arrested in another case related to Toshakhana.
