Imran Khan’s Wife Bushra Bibi Named as Suspect in 11 Cases, Including Attack on Army Headquarters

Islamabad: Bushra Bibi, the wife of jailed former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan, has been named as a suspect in 11 cases, including the attack on the army headquarters on May 9 last year, the Rawalpindi district police informed the Islamabad High Court on Tuesday.

The Rawalpindi police presented a report in the IHC, providing details of the cases filed against 49-year-old Bushra, who has been incarcerated in the Adiala Jail of Rawalpindi along with her husband.

The court had ordered authorities to provide details of the cases registered against her.

During the hearing, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutor also submitted a response according to the court's order, revealing that four cases have been registered against her with NAB, including three in Rawalpindi and one in Lahore.

Though Rawalpindi and Islamabad police and NAB submitted their responses, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and Balochistan police have not come up with the details of the cases against Bibi.

The IHC issued fresh notices to the FIA and Balochistan police to come up with details by Monday and adjourned the case until then.

Bibi married Khan in 2018 and became his third wife.

During Khan's rule, she was considered extremely powerful but after the fall of the government, she, like her husband, has been implicated in several cases.

Bushra Bibi has been named in various cases, including the Army Museum, GHQ Gate 4 attack case, the burning of a sensitive military building in Saddar Cantt, attacking an intelligence agency office on Murree Road, and other incidents of arson, rioting, and vandalism in different areas.

She has also been named in cases at the RA Bazaar, Civil Line, New Town, City, Waris Khan, and Taxila police stations.
