Allegations of Poisoning: Bushra Bibi’s Health Concerns Addressed by Personal Physician in Islamabad
The news of alleged poisoning of Bushra Bibi, the wife of PTI founder Imran Khan, has sent shockwaves through the political landscape of Pakistan. Amidst these serious allegations, personal physician Dr. Asim Yousuf has confirmed that no evidence of any poisonous substance being administered to Bushra Bibi was found during a medical examination.
Dr. Yousuf stated that despite Bushra Bibi’s health deteriorating after a meal two months ago, there was no indication of poisoning. He mentioned that she had been consuming less food due to health issues, but the exact nature of her health problems from two months ago remains unknown.
The physician emphasized the need for medical tests to be conducted considering Bushra Bibi’s age and to check for any health issues, particularly stomach-related problems. He also mentioned that he would be meeting with Imran Khan to discuss his health, noting that while the former premier’s condition had improved, his appetite had not fully returned to normal.
Imran Khan had raised concerns about his wife being poisoned during a court hearing related to a settlement case. Bushra Bibi herself claimed that she had been served food and water with a bitter taste, alleging that toilet cleaner had been mixed in her food. Despite experiencing symptoms like swelling eyes, chest pain, and stomach discomfort, she did not disclose the name of the official who allegedly informed her about the poisoning.
The unfolding events surrounding the alleged poisoning of Bushra Bibi have raised questions about the safety and well-being of individuals in custody, sparking calls for a thorough investigation into the matter. The political implications of these allegations are likely to reverberate in the coming days as more details emerge.
