ISLAMABAD: Bushra Bibi, the wife of jailed Prime Minister Imran Khan, was brought to Adiala Jail in Islamabad to meet her husband today, Wednesday, the first day of the Eid Al-Fitr holiday, local media widely reported.
Khan, who was PM from 2018-2022, remains jailed in multiple cases, including a 14-year jail sentence for him and his wife for the illegal sale of state gifts.
In February, Khan and Bushra were separately sentenced to seven years in prison and fined by a court that ruled their 2018 marriage went against Islamic law.
“A meeting between Imran and his spouse Bushra Bibi took place in the jail which lasted for about one hour,” Geo News reported. “After that, police brought Bushra back to Bani Gala from Adiala jail, where she is under house arrest.”
Separately, at least five supporters of ex-PM Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party were detained on Wednesday for protesting and shooting videos outside the main gate of Adiala jail.
Police told media the supporters were filming videos of the prison’s premises at gate number 5, which is forbidden for unauthorized personnel.
“They were shifted to the Adiala Jail police station,” police said. “Security is on high alert around the prison.”
