Aleema Khan, the sister of PTI founder Imran Khan, has claimed that authorities have intensified pressure on her brother, aiming for a swift conviction in the £190 million case.

Speaking to the media outside Adiala Jail, she expressed concerns over the increasing restrictions on Imran Khan, including limitations on family visits.

Aleema Khan stated that no more than three people are being allowed to meet the former prime minister at a time, attributing this to the upcoming 8th September rally, which she believes has caused apprehension among the authorities.

She noted that only Omar Ayub and Shibli Faraz were permitted to visit him yesterday, while many others were left waiting outside.

During her address, Aleema mentioned that when they filed a bail application in the Toshakhana case, the prosecution claimed they were unprepared, leading the judge to adjourn the hearing until Monday.

She expressed concern that efforts are being made to secure a quick conviction for Imran Khan in the £190 million case, citing remarks allegedly conveyed by Justice Qazi Faez Isa.

Aleema further warned that a conviction in the £190 million case could lead to additional legal challenges for Imran Khan in the High Court.

She also raised questions about the future of the Al-Qadir Trust, suggesting that if the trust is shut down, it would adversely impact the students studying there.
