RAWALPINDI – PTI Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan is travelling back to Lahore after appearing before the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) Rawalpindi office to join investigation in the £190 million settlement case.
During the hours long probe, the NAB team sought record of funds related to £190 million from the former premier. The defiant politician reached the NAB office along with his wife Bushra Bibi and a legal team comprising Salman Safdar, Khawaja Haris, Intezar Panjotha, and others.
Earlier in the day, the former premier, his wife Bushra Bibi arrived at Judicial Complex Islamabad and appeared before the accountability court where Judge Muhammad Bashir heard their plea.
After the arguments, the court granted interim bail to Bushra Bibi in the Al-Qadir Trust case till May 31, and directed her to submit surety bonds of Rs 500,000.

He was arrested by the NAB on May 9 in the Al-Qadir Trust case in Islamabad.
