IHC orders forensic test of Bushra Bibi-Khosa 'audio leak'

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday ordered the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to conduct a forensic test on the ‘audio leak’ of former first lady Bushra Bibi and her lawyer Latif Khosa, ARY News reported.

On November 30, a new audio leak allegedly featuring Bushra Bibi, wife of the former prime minister, and her lawyer Latif Khosa surfaced on social media, suggesting all is not well in the PTI founder’s family with him being behind bars.

The two were purportedly heard talking about ex-PM’s sisters complaining about Khosa’s alleged misbehavior with them about a case.

IHC Justice Babar Sattar heard Bushra Bibi’s plea against her alleged audio leak.

At the outset of the hearing, IHC questioned how private conversations of people are being leaked. “PEMRA should respond to how private conversations of people are being leaked on TV”.

Later, the hearing was adjourned until December 11.
