Ex-Pakistan PM Imran Khan's wife Bushra Bibi gets bail in graft case

Former Pakistan Prime Minister's wife Bushra Bibi on Tuesday was granted temporary bail by a specialized accountability court in Rawalpindi, news agency Reuters reported. The graft case in which Bibi was implicated alongside Khan pertained to purportedly accepting financial assistance from a land developer for the establishment of Al Qadir University. Both individuals have refuted any misconduct.

Last December, the national accountability bureau launched an inquiry against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Khan, his wife Bushra Bibi, and others, regarding the alleged acquisition of numerous acres of land under the guise of Al Qadir University Trust.

Earlier on May 15, Imran Khan was granted bail by Islamabad High Court (IHC) in a land corruption case.

This purportedly resulted in a reported loss of 190 million pounds to the national treasury.

The Al-Qadir Trust matter revolves around the settlement of 190 million pounds (approximately Rs 50 billion), transferred to Pakistan by the UK's National Crime Agency following its recovery from a Pakistani real estate magnate. During his tenure as prime minister, Khan opted to allow the businessman to utilize the funds to partially settle a fine of around Rs 450 billion, previously imposed by the Supreme Court, instead of depositing it into the national treasury.
