RAWALPINDI: Bushra Bibi, the wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, has filed a petition in the Lahore High Court (LHC) challenging her arrest in the Toshakhana case.
As per the details, Bushra Bibi has filed a petition urging the court to declare her arrest illegal and unlawful.
Bushra Bibi has also requested the court to take action against the authorities responsible for her arrest, including the superintendent of Adiala Jail and other involved officials.
She has alleged that she was arrested without a warrant and subjected to mistreatment and humiliation by female officials.
On July 13, Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were arrested in a new National Accountability Bureau (NAB) reference related to Toshakhana, just hours after their acquittal in the Iddat case.
Sources privy to the development added that the NAB team, headed by Deputy Director Mohsin Haroon, arrested Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi from Adiala Jail.
The development came after the Islamabad district and sessions court accepted the appeals filed by former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his spouse Bushra Bibi against their conviction in the Iddat case.
In February earlier this year, the couple was sentenced to seven years in prison and fined Rs500,000 each after a trial court found their nikah to be fraudulent.
The verdict clears the last existing legal hurdle keeping the deposed prime minister in jail. His sentences in the two Toshakhana cases were suspended, and he was acquitted by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) in the cipher case.
