Decision Pending on Bushra Bibi’s Acquittal in £190m NAB Case
In a related development, an accountability court has reserved its decision on Bushra Bibi’s acquittal plea in the £190 million National Accountability Bureau (NAB) case. The verdict is anticipated to be announced today (Thursday).
Judge Nasir Javed Rana conducted the hearing at Adiala Jail, where both the PTI founder and Bushra Bibi were present. Bushra Bibi’s lawyer, Usman Gul, argued for her acquittal, while NAB Prosecutor General Muzaffar Bassi and Amjad Parvez opposed the plea. The cross-examination of NAB’s final witness was delayed due to the absence of PTI leader Chaudhry Zaheer Abbas, and is rescheduled for September 5.
