Bushra Bibi Released After Securing Bail in Toshakhana Case

Bushra Bibi, the former first lady and wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, was released from Adiala Jail on Thursday after the Islamabad High Court granted her bail in the Toshakhana 2 case. Her release was secured following the submission of bail bonds worth Rs1 million by her guarantor, Malik Tariq Mehmood Noon.

The Islamabad Accountability Court, led by Special Judge Central Shahrukh Arjumand, signed the release orders, and Bushra Bibi’s legal team confirmed that she left the jail, escorted by her security detail, for Bani Gala.

Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, Bushra Bibi’s lawyer, expressed optimism that there would be no further arrests, emphasizing that no grounds remained for her continued detention.

The Islamabad High Court, under Justice Mian Gul Hasan Aurangzeb, had granted bail on October 23, 2024. However, procedural delays in the submission of bail bonds resulted in Bushra Bibi’s prolonged custody.

The Toshakhana 2 case revolves around allegations concerning the illegal sale of valuable gifts received during official foreign trips by both former Prime Minister Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi.
