Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan and leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, claimed on Tuesday that his wife, Bushra Bibi, was subjected to poisoning while under house arrest at their private residence in Islamabad, which had been converted into a sub-jail. He warned that the country's army chief would be held accountable if any harm came to her, according to news agency PTI.

The leader of PTI was present at the trial for a 190 million pound Toshakhana corruption case in Adiala jail. He informed the judge that Bushra Bibi exhibited signs of poisoning, including marks on her skin and tongue, according to the news agency's report.

Imran Khan urged the court to hold Pakistan Army chief (General Asim Munir) responsible in case of any harm to his wife. He alleged that members of an intelligence agency were controlling affairs at his Bani Gala residence in Islamabad and Adiala jail in Rawalpindi, stating, "I know who is behind it," reported The Express Tribune newspaper.

Furthermore, Khan requested the court to order a medical examination for his wife, Bushra, conducted by Dr. Asim from Shaukat Khanum Hospital, expressing distrust in the doctor who had previously examined her. He also called for an investigation into the alleged poisoning of Bushra.

<h2>Toilet cleaner as poison?</h2>

According to a PTI report, Bushra Bibi claimed that there were rumours circulating within the party suggesting that she was considered an "American agent" and that she had been poisoned with a well-known toilet cleaner. She stated that "three drops" of the toilet cleaner had been mixed into her food, asserting that a person's health deteriorates after ingesting it for a month.

"My eyes swell up, I feel pain and discomfort in my chest and stomach and food and water also taste bitter. Some suspicious substance was mixed in honey earlier and now the toilet cleaner was mixed in my food," claimed the former first lady.

"I was told by someone in jail about what was added to my food. I will not reveal any names," she said.

Bushra informed the court that she had been treated with respect while in the Bani Gala sub-jail but mentioned that she was prevented from opening the windows for a period of time. Earlier, the PTI party had claimed that Bushra had been provided with "poisonous food" while in custody, leading to severe pain.

Pakistan: Imran Khan claims his wife Bushra Bibi was ‘poisoned’ in sub-jail

In a significant setback for former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the name of Khan's wife, Bushra Bibi, has been added to the country's 'Exit Control List' (ECL) — a list of people&nbsp;prohibited from leaving Pakistan.&nbsp;

As per ARY News, this step was taken by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) under its investigation of a $232 million (or £190 million) scandal.&nbsp;

This comes&nbsp;as&nbsp;the Islamabad Accountability Court on Monday issued arrest warrants for&nbsp;Imran Khan in the Toshakhana and the Al-Qadir Trust cases.

<h2>NAB's investigation and Bushra Bibi's potential arrest</h2>

The NAB, as per a CNN-News18 report citing sources, reportedly possesses crucial evidence against Bibi, and if proven, it could lead to her arrest.&nbsp;

Earlier, the publication reported that there was a likelihood of her arrest based on emerging evidence that may elevate her status from a witness to an accused party in the case.&nbsp;

The investigation is expected to conclude soon, and the NAB is anticipated to file a reference charge sheet in the Al-Qadir Trust corruption case.

As per ARY News, Bushra Bibi appeared before NAB investigators, where she was handed a questionnaire seeking her response to 11 queries.

Her advocate Naeem Haider Panjutha told the media that the former Pakistani first lady had already secured bail till November 15 in the case. He also disclosed that they were expecting her arrest today.&nbsp;

"Imran Khan and his family are always ready to face the law. Bushra Bibi was a trustee in the Al-Qadir Trust University and the former premier did not get any benefit from the property owned by a trust. There is no account of Bushra Bibi, and she did not hold any public office during the PTI government," said Panjutha.&nbsp;

<h2>Al-Qadir trust corruption case: Background</h2>

The Al-Qadir Trust corruption case revolves around allegations that Imran Khan and Bibi received substantial financial gains and land from a real estate firm for a settlement between the PTI administration and a real estate mogul. A whopping £190 million (or $232 million)&nbsp;was repatriated by the UK national exchequer during PTI's previous government.&nbsp;

The prosecution alleges that the funds from these activities were transferred to Bibi's extended family, with allegations of substantial amounts being stashed in multiple accounts across Pakistan and Middle East banks.
