On October 6, Islamabad police arrested multiple PTI activists, including Imran Khan’s sisters, as they attempted to reach D-Chowk for a planned demonstration.
In a separate case, Bushra Bibi, Imran Khan’s wife, was released from Adiala Jail on Thursday after securing bail in the Toshakhana-II case. Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb of the Islamabad High Court approved her bail against Rs1 million surety bonds, ordering her immediate release.
Bushra Bibi had spent around nine months in Adiala Jail after receiving a 14-year sentence in the Toshakhana case, which was later suspended. However, she faced re-arrest in the Toshakhana-II case until this recent release.
