On April 28, 2026, Rabia Imran and Imran Yousaf were granted interim bail in a significant corruption case. The court’s decision halts arrest proceedings related to allegations of corruption involving the Punjab Power Development Company (PPDC).
The bail prevents the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) from arresting them until May 7. This development follows their previous declarations as proclaimed offenders.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) originally filed the reference against them. The case has been ongoing since 2018, marked by multiple procedural challenges.
Following amendments to accountability laws, the case was transferred to the FIA court. Allegations include Imran Yousaf receiving a bribe amounting to Rs12 million.
Imran Yousaf was declared a proclaimed offender in 2018 after failing to comply with arrest warrants. The court has now deferred further proceedings while granting temporary relief to the accused.
This ruling significantly impacts ongoing accountability efforts involving high-profile figures. Stakeholders await further developments as the next hearing approaches.
