Doctors gave former Pakistan first lady Bushra Bibi a clean chit of health in the presence of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and her husband Imran Khan’s trusted family physician, after a thorough medical examination.

Earlier, Imran Khan, who remains in Adiala Jail, alleged that Bushra Bibi was given food that was laced with toilet cleaner.

According to a report by GeoNews, Bushra Bibi, the wife of the jailed former prime minister Imran Khan, underwent tests, including endoscopy, at a private hospital in Islamabad and stayed there for six hours.

The report said that Bushra Bibi refused to undergo a blood test and did not provide a blood sample but she took ultrasound, ECHO, and ECG tests in the presence of Imran Khan’s physician, Dr Asim Yousuf.

The medical reports revealed that Bushra Bibi only had a minor gastric issue and the doctors cleared all the medical reports of the former first lady.

The news outlet said that in the reports that will be submitted to Dr Asim, the jail superintendent, and the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) it will be mentioned that Bushra Bibi refused to provide a blood sample.

The accountability court in Pakistan on Saturday ordered that Bushra Bibi should undergo a full medical check-up at any private hospital in two days.

This was after Bushra Bibi moved the Islamabad High Court (IHC) earlier this month demanding that her medical examination and tests be arranged at Shaukat Khanum Hospital or another private hospital of her preference to investigate whether she was served poisoned/tainted food.

The Shaukat Khanum Hospital is owned by Khan’s charitable organisation.

She mentioned in her petition that she was suffering from heartburn and her throat and mouth hurt because she believed that she was being poisoned via the meals she was being served.

Bushra Bibi is currently jailed at Bani Gala — 71-year-old Khan’s home in Islamabad — which has been turned into a sub-jail since she was sentenced in the ‘un-Islamic nikah’ case in February.

She also claimed in her petition that she was she was subjected to psychological torture at the sub-jail.
