Bushra Bibi, wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, led a protest in Islamabad as an accountability court continued hearings in a £190 million corruption case against her and Khan. The court is seeking a report on her arrest warrant due to her failure to appear. The court proceedings were moved to a judicial complex due to road closures. The case involves allegations of improper favors to property tycoon Malik Riaz in a settlement with the UK's National Crime Agency. Separately, an Anti-Terrorism Court extended Imran Khan's physical remand by six days related to accusations of inciting violent protests on September 28. His legal team opposed the extension, claiming no significant evidence had been presented. Khan is scheduled to appear in court on December 2.
