Bushra Bibi Granted Bail in Corruption Case

Bushra Bibi, the wife of imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan, has been granted bail by the Islamabad High Court in the Toshakhana corruption case, which involves allegations of illegally selling state gifts. This decision comes nearly nine months after her arrest following a conviction that sentenced both her and Khan to 14 years in jail. The bail was approved against a surety bond of Rs 1 million, and the court determined that no further investigation was necessary. The case revolves around gifts worth over 140 million rupees ($501,000) that were allegedly undervalued and retained improperly. While her bail has been granted, it remains uncertain if she will be released due to other pending charges. Khan, facing over 150 legal cases since his ousting in 2022, continues to serve his sentence alongside Bibi.
