An accountability court in Islamabad has granted bail to Bushra Bibi, wife of former prime minister Imran Khan, in a £190 million corruption case, Express News reported.
Despite the bail, she remains incarcerated due to another conviction.
Judge Muhammad Ali Warraich presided over the hearing at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, where both Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi face charges in the high-profile corruption case.
The court approved Bushra Bibi’s pre-arrest bail request, providing some relief in the ongoing legal battles faced by the former first lady.
However, prison officials stated that she cannot be released due to her conviction in the Iddat case
“Despite the bail being approved, Bushra Bibi cannot be released because she is serving a sentence in the Iddat marriage case,” said jail authorities.
