On Monday, Accountability Judge Nasir Javed Rana directed the prosecution to submit a report regarding a non-bailable arrest warrant issued for Bushra Bibi, citing her repeated failure to appear in court. The warrant remains in effect as the proceedings were adjourned until Thursday (tomorrow) without further action.

The remand was issued in connection with a accusing Mr Khan of inciting workers to stage violent protests on Sept 28. The case, registered at New Town Police Station in Rawalpindi, alleges that the former premier urged party members to disrupt public order.

Evidence, including materials linked to the protests and records of jail meetings, has been seized. Authorities also await information from the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) and the FIA. Prosecutor Shah contended that Imran Khan’s extended detention was critical to advancing the investigation.
