Bushra Bibi gets interim bail in multiple PTI protest cases

Bushra Bibi, the wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, has been granted interim bail in three more cases related to the party's November 26 protest in Islamabad. The interim bails were approved by Judge Shabbir Bhatti at a District and Sessions Court in Islamabad on Thursday. The court approved bail pleas against surety bonds of Rs50,000 until January 13, 2025, Express News reported. Bushra Bibi appeared in court with her legal team for the hearing of cases registered against her at Tarnol Police Station and Ramna Police Station, involving a total of four first information reports (FIRs). This follows a recent ruling by an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Rawalpindi, which granted her interim bail in 32 other cases related to the same protest. These cases were filed across several police stations in Rawalpindi, Attock, and Chakwal. Earlier on December 23, an accountability court in Islamabad postponed its verdict in the £190 million corruption case against former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi. The verdict was initially scheduled for today after the court reserved its decision on December 18, Express News reported. However, Judge Nasir Javed Rana announced that the ruling would be delayed, noting the upcoming winter holidays and a course at the high court. The court’s official winter vacation begins on December 24 and runs until January 1. The judge stated that the verdict against Imran and Bushra will be announced on January 6, 2025.

Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi is leading the convoy, which began its march towards Islamabad on Sunday to demand the release of party founder Imran Khan and press the government over what PTI describes as broader political and constitutional grievances.
