Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan made startling allegations on Tuesday, asserting that his wife and former first lady, Bushra Bibi, had been poisoned while she was in jail. Imran Khan claimed that the poisoning occurred in Bushra's private residence, which was later converted into a sub-jail.

During the hearing of the Toshakhana corruption case at Adiala Jail, Imran Khan informed Judge Nasir Javed Rana of the poisoning attempt on Bushra Bibi. He alleged that she exhibited marks on her skin and tongue as a result of the poison.

Imran Khan further implicated the Pakistan Army, suggesting that the army chief should be held accountable if any harm comes to Bushra Bibi. He claimed that intelligence agency members controlled activities at her residence in Islamabad and Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi.

Seeking a medical examination for Bushra Bibi by Dr. Asim of Shaukat Khanum Hospital, Islamabad, Imran Khan expressed distrust in the doctor who had previously examined him.

After Imran Khan's request, the court directed him to submit a detailed application regarding Bushra Bibi's medical examination. Bushra Bibi later corroborated Imran Khan's claims, asserting that she was fed poisoned food during her imprisonment.

She described experiencing swollen eyes, chest discomfort, and a bitter taste in food and water, alleging that a toilet cleaner liquid was mixed with her food. Despite being treated decently in the sub-jail, Bushra Bibi expressed dissatisfaction with restrictions, including the inability to open windows.

Earlier, Imran Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), claimed that Bushra Bibi suffered from severe stomach pain due to poisoned food. PTI stated that her life was under serious threat.

The legal troubles for Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi stem from the Toshakhana case, where they were accused of receiving undervalued gifts from the Saudi crown prince. The Islamabad High Court suspended their 14-year prison sentence in this case.

In addition to the Toshakhana case, Imran Khan and his wife faced allegations from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) regarding 108 gifts received during his tenure as prime minister. The case continues to unfold amidst mounting allegations and legal battles.
