ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad court extended the interim bail of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi until February 7.

The District Sessions Court in Islamabad heard the plea filed by Bushra Bibi for interim bail in a case registered at the Ramna police station.

During the hearing, her lawyer, Ansar Kiani requested an exemption from attendance in the court.

The prosecutor, Chaudhry Zahid Asif, argued that Bushra Bibi had not been interrogated in jail, so her interim bail should be cancelled.

Bushra Bibi faces charges in multiple cases, including a £190 million corruption case. Her lawyer argued that she was defending herself in all the cases and that the police should interrogate her in jail.

It is important to note here that the former first lady was taken into custody following her conviction in a £190 million Al-Qadir Trust case after the court granted her a 7-year jail term.
