Bushra Bibi was granted bail by the Islamabad High Court in Toshakhana-II case. She has various other cases pending, including the Iddat case and the Toshakhana 1 case.

Earlier, on July 13, Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were arrested by the authorities in a fresh National Accountability Bureau (NAB) reference related to Toshakhana, merely a few hours after their acquittal in the Iddat case.

The Iddat case revolves around Islamic customs of marriage not being adhered to by Khan before marrying Bibi. The couple had thus been sentenced to seven years in prison and a hefty fine, in February earlier this year after a trial court found their Nikah to be fraudulent, as noted by Ary News.

The Toshakhana-II case is a follow-up on the scandalous Toshakhana- I case that shook Pakistan, wherein former Prime Minister Khan was accused of failing to disclose details of the gifts he received during his tenure from various heads of state and allegedly selling them directly on the market thereby resulting in loss to the national treasury.

The prosecution's argument included details about the contents of the Bulgari set, which were gifted to the former first lady by the Saudi Crown Prince in 2021. They alleged that Imran Khan, during his tenure, undervalued the set's market price and kept the gift from the state without depositing it in Pakistan's national treasury. (ANI)
