ISLAMABAD – An accountability court in the federal capital has allowed former first lady Bushra Bibi, physician Dr Faisal Sultan to meet PTI Chairman Imran Khan, who is currently in the custody of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in the Al-Qadir Trust case.
It surfaced after accountability court issued its detailed verdict on the NAB petition seeking physical remand for the former premier for interrogation in the case.
The court approved eight-day remand of the PTI in the land corruption case during the hearing at Islamabad Police Lines on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, the legal team of Imran Khan was initially denied permission to meet him. However, the meeting was allowed after the judge started hearing the case.

Wife and blood relations of the accused shall be allowed to meet him during custody of the NAB […],” the verdict read.
