A local court on Tuesday indicted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and his wife, Bushra Bibi, in Iddat case. Khan, a former prime minister who was removed from power in April 2022, and his wife have denied all charges in the case registered by Bushra\u2019s former husband, Khawar Maneka, last month. Senior Civil Judge Qudratullah conducted the hearing at Rawalpindi\u2019s Adiala Jail. The court formally commenced the trial in the case and summoned the witnesses at the next hearing. The judge read out the charges in the court set up in Rawalpindi\u2019s Adiala Jail, with the PTI founder in presence. However, his wife did not appear, which annoyed the judge. Marriage The former prime minister married Bushra Bibi in February 2018 in Lahore. The ceremony was attended by only close relatives, including the bride\u2019s mother, and friends. PTI founder\u2019s sisters, however, were not in attendance. Mufti Saeed had performed the nikah in the presence of former Pakitan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Awn Chaudhary and former SAPM Zulfi Bukhari who appeared as witnesses. Last year, Khawar Maneka \u2014 Bibi\u2019s former husband, who had approached the court \u2014 had claimed that the marriage was illegal and against the laws of Sharia. Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi were originally accused of marrying within the three-month \u201ciddat period\u201d that follows a divorce. Additionally, Maneka has accused them of fornication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
