Bushra Bibi, the wife of incarcerated ex-premier and PTI founder Imran Khan, was shifted back to Adiala jail after undergoing an eye surgery at a Rawalpindi hospital, according to jail authorities.
Bushra is serving a seven-year sentence in the £190 million corruption case. In December 2025, she was sentenced to 17 years’ imprisonment in the Toshakhana 2 case, which revolved around the purchase of an expensive jewelry set gifted to Imran by the Saudi crown prince during his May 2021 visit.
The PTI has expressed concern over reports about her health, demanding that she be taken to a hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
According to a press release by the Adiala jail authorities, she had complained of impaired vision in her right eye, due to which the prison administrators immediately had her examined by ophthalmologists.
The superintendent of the jail said that retinal detachment was diagnosed in the right eye. In view of the diagnosis, doctors advised surgery, he added.
On Thursday evening, the patient was shifted to a private hospital in Rawalpindi, where the necessary tests and medical examination were completed before the surgery, the superintendent said, adding that Bushra Bibi had given consent for the operation.
The surgery was performed by Professor Dr. Nadeem Qureshi and a panel, the statement elaborated.
“The patient was discharged after the surgery and one night’s hospital stay,” the superintendent said, adding that she had been taken back to Adiala jail.
