Pakistan's former Prime Minister and Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has claimed that his wife, Bushra Bibi, was given food mixed with "toilet cleaner," reported Pakistan-based The Express Tribune.
During the hearing of the 190 million pound corruption case in Rawalpindi's Adiala jail on Friday, Imran Khan told Judge Nasir Javed Rana that additional walls had been erected in the courtroom, leading to an atmosphere resembling a closed court.
Khan said that Shaukat Khanum Hospital Chief Medical Officer Dr Asim Yousaf had suggested carrying out Bushra Bibi's tests at Shifa International Hospital.
He claimed the hospital administration was adamant about carrying out the test at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) Hospital.
Khan alleged that Bushra Bibi's food was laced with toilet cleaner, causing daily stomach irritation.
He said that stomach irritation is causing her health to deteriorate.
On April 15, Bushra Bibi filed a petition before the Islamabad High Court (IHC) and requested the court to conduct her check-up and medical tests from Shaukat Khanum Hospital or any other private hospital of her choice to examine if she was poisoned through contaminated food, Pakistan-based Dawn reported.
In her petition, Bushra Bibi said that she is suffering from heartburn and aches in her throat and mouth and that she believes that it is the result of eating poisonous meals.
