On October 6, 2024, two sisters of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder were sent on physical remand by a Lahore court in connection with an ongoing investigation. The court’s decision has drawn significant attention, as the sisters were reportedly involved in illegal financial transactions linked to the political turmoil in Pakistan.
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) presented evidence suggesting that the sisters had a direct role in laundering money through offshore accounts, sparking public outrage. As the court granted physical remand, this case is set to add to the already complex web of legal battles surrounding key PTI figures.
This development comes at a time when the PTI founder himself faces increasing scrutiny, following the arrest of several party members for their alleged involvement in financial misdeeds. Legal experts argue that the sisters’ arrest could signal a turning point in the broader investigation targeting political elites. The court is expected to resume hearings later this week, with further details likely to emerge.
