PTI decides against probe into Bushra Bibi’s audio leak

PESHAWAR: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership has decided not to investigate an audio recording leak of Bushra Bibi, the wife of PTI founder Imran Khan, during a recent meeting at the Chief Minister’s House, according to party sources.

Insiders disclosed that the audio was leaked due to the unusually large number of attendees in the conference room during the meeting. “The conference room had a high number of people present, which contributed to the breach,” a source said.

The security staff reportedly faced difficulties managing the crowd of over 500 participants, and no thorough screening or checks were conducted before the meeting began, the sources said.

PTI Central Information Secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram, speaking to Geo News, confirmed the large attendance. “Leaking the audio was an unethical act,” he said. He confirmed that no investigation into the matter was being conducted.

The party attributed the incident to logistical and security challenges caused by the unexpected number of attendees at the meeting. The audio leak, however, has raised questions about the handling of sensitive discussions within the party. Despite this, the PTI appears focused on its ongoing political activities and has chosen not to pursue the issue further.
