The Punjab Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) detained Khawar Farid Maneka, the former husband of Bushra Bibi, the wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) president Imran Khan, on September 25, 2023, in Lahore on suspicion of unlawful construction.
A representative for ACE confirmed Maneka’s arrest, stating that he was detained on suspicion of building an unauthorized marriage hall on cemetery property.
Later, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) opened an investigation into the ex-husband of Bushra Bibi due to allegations of financial irregularities.
