ISLAMABAD: Bushra Bibi, the wife of Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan, has filed a petition challenging the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) inquiry in the Al-Qadir Trust case at the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
The plea names the chairman and Director General (DG) of NAB as respondents and claims that the inquiry against Bushra Bibi is politically motivated. The petition seeks the court’s intervention to obtain details of the inquiry from NAB.
Bushra Bibi alleged that her political opponents had initiated a false inquiry against her. The petition further requests the court to order NAB to provide details of the inquiry.
NAB arrests Imran Khan in Al-Qadir Trust case
Earlier in the day, Imran Khan, the Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), who was arrested in the Al-Qadir Trust case, has been referred to a seven-member medical board at the Poly Clinic in Islamabad for a medical examination.
Imran Khan was taken into custody by Rangers personnel based on the warrant issued by NAB while he was present at the premises of the Islamabad High Court seeking bail in multiple cases registered against him.
In a statement, the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Islamabad, Dr. Akbar Nasir Khan, confirmed that Imran Khan’s arrest was made in the Al-Qadir Trust case and assured that the situation is under control.
It is worth mentioning that NAB had previously summoned Bushra Bibi in the Toshakhana case, which is unrelated to the Al-Qadir Trust case.
The Islamabad High Court will now consider the petition and may issue notices to the respondents for their response. The court will assess the merits of the plea and decide whether to intervene in the NAB inquiry or order the bureau to provide the requested information.
