The notification was issued under Section 16-B of the NAB Ordinance 1999. Lawyers for the founder of PTI and former first lady have been informed about the jail trial notification.
Yesterday, former premier Imran Khan, and his wife, Bushra Bibi, were arrested by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) hours after being acquitted in the Iddat case as they allegedly obtained gifts from the gift repository at low prices and sold them at higher rates.
