RAWALPINDI: A handful of miscreants hurled disreputable slogans at Bushra Bibi, wife of former premier Imran Khan, as she reached Adiala jail on Monday for the hearing of the £190 million settlement case.
The wife of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief was expected at the jail on Monday for the hearing of her interim bail request in the £190 million settlement case.
The miscreants intercepted her vehicle and chanted “black magic unacceptable”. The police officers were reportedly silent spectators to the sloganeering, that went on till Bushra Bibi went inside the jail.
At the last hearing the court remanded Imran Khan — who is already in prison — to National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) custody concerning the graft investigation. NAB was instructed to present its report in court by today.
On Sunday, a NAB team conducted continuous interrogation sessions of the PTI chairman at the Adiala Jail for 13 hours – 9:30am till 10:45pm. The NAB team completed the investigation against the PTI chairman.
Today, an accountability court in Islamabad rejected NAB’s request for extending former prime minister Imran Khan’s physical remand in the case.
The court instead, sent the PTI chairman on a 14-day judicial remand.
The £190 million (approximately Rs60 billion) settlement case pertains to the money of a property tycoon being laundered and caught by the UK authorities during Imran’s government in 2019. The UK government had informed the Pakistani authorities regarding the money being caught.
The May 9 arrest of the ex-prime minister came in this case for the first time.
