Bushra Bibi alleges food tampering

ISLAMABAD: Bushra Bibi, the spouse of PTI founder Imran Khan, who is currently confined to the couple’s Banigala residence, has complained of ill health alleging that the food given to her was tampered with.

Mashal Yousufzai, the spokesperson for Bushra Bibi and a PTI lawyer, took to the social media platform X to share distressing revelations about her health. According to Yousufzai, Bushra Bibi disclosed that she had been given a harmful substance resembling acid in her food, causing intense pain for the past five days.

Yousufzai detailed the severe effects on Bushra Bibi’s health, including a feeling of her stomach being on fire, severe sores in her mouth and throat, and difficulty in consuming anything except dry toast dipped in tea or water.

Yousufzai issued a stark warning, stating that there is a “serious threat” to Bushra Bibi’s life and urgently called for a medical inspection.

Khan and Bushra were sentenced to 14 years in jail in the Toshakhana reference last month on charges related to retaining expensive jewelry.

Bushra Bibi is serving her jail term in Banigala residence, which has been designated as a sub-jail after being convicted and sentenced in the Toshakhana case.
