Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has been granted bail by the Islamabad High Court in a high-profile graft case. Khan, who was accused of legalizing billions of rupees for a business tycoon during his time in office in 2019, received bail on Wednesday. Despite the court's decision, Khan will not be released immediately due to other unresolved legal challenges. His lawyer confirmed the bail decision, noting that Khan and his wife were accused of receiving land worth billions of rupees as a bribe from a prominent real estate developer in the 190 million pounds corruption case. The case is part of a broader series of legal issues that Khan faces.
