Bushra Bibi seeks protective bail in Toshakhana case

LAHORE: Bushra Bibi, wife of former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman, has approached Lahore High Court (LHC) for protective bail in the Toshakhana case, ARY News reported on Wednesday.

A case was registered against the former first lady at Kohsar police station, Islamabad under the provisions of fraud among other charges.

In the petition, Bushra Bibi maintained that she wants to join investigation in the Toshakhana case registered at Kohsar police station.

It is feared that the police will arrest the petitioner, hence the court should grant her protective bail, the plea stated.

Meanwhile, the Lahore High Court has fixed Bushra Bibi’s protective bail application for hearing.

On Tuesday, the LHC ordered Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan police to submit details of cases registered against Bushra Bibi, the wife of former prime minister and PTI chief.

The LHC bench passed the orders while hearing Bushra Bibi’s plea seeking details of the cases registered against her.

During yesterday’s hearing, the report duly signed by the Islamabad IG was submitted to the high court. The additional advocate general told the court that there are no cases registered against Imran Khan’s wife in Sindh and Punjab.

Later, the court adjourned the hearing of the case by summoning the details of the cases registered against the former first lady in KP and Balochistan.
