IHC to hear PTI chief’s plea seeking suspension of sentence

Amid stringent security measures, Bushra Bibi arrived at the jail premises.

Earlier the PTI Chairman’s lawyer team had filed a plea with the Islamabad High Court to allow Bushra Bibi visitation rights.

Former premier was arrested from Lahore and sent to  Attock jail last week after an Islamabad trial court sentenced him to three years in prison for making false declarations about his assets before the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

In addition to the conviction, ADSJ Dilawar also disqualified PTI chief for five years, ending his prospects for running for public office during the upcoming general elections.
