Bushra Bibi, wife of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan who is currently jailed, might also be arrested in the near future, sources said.
The informed sources said that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) is cross checking certain pieces of “evidence”, which if confirmed, will change the status of Bushra Bibi from a “witness” to “accused” and she might be arrested as well, The News reported.
The evidence, it is said, pertains to some financial transactions that Bushra Bibi allegedly received.
The latest report, leaked to the media and the follow-up press conferences on the subject by PML-N and MQM, about Farah Shahzadi are also a prelude to some added problems for Imran Khan.
Meanwhile, the NAB has also accelerated its probe towards conclusion in Imran Khan’s alleged corruption cases – Toshakhana and the UK’s NCA (National Crime Agency.
The NAC’s 190 million pounds case is also known as the Al-Qadir Trust case.
According to the sources, the Bureau may soon conclude these probes and decide about filing of references against Imran Khan.
