The Punjab government has withdrawn all petitions in the Supreme Court challenging the bail granted to former prime minister and PTI founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi in May 9 and related cases. A three-member bench headed by Justice Muhammad Hashim Kakar dismissed the appeals after the government’s prosecutor informed the court that he had instructions not to pursue them.
During the hearing, the bench also took up matters related to the Toshakhana case, where Imran Khan’s sentence had earlier been suspended by the Islamabad High Court. The court observed that suspension of a sentence should remove legal obstacles, including participation in elections, while the appeal remains pending.

Ride-hailing platform inDrive has blocked more than 80,000 accounts after an organised scam targeted courier riders across Pakistan. Fraudsters allegedly posed as commissioned military officers and persuaded riders to transfer money through digital wallets under false pretences, with some victims losing over Rs30,000.
Following multiple complaints, inDrive launched an internal investigation and filed a formal complaint with the National Cyber Crime Investigation Authority (NCCIA) in Islamabad. The company registered FIRs and shared behavioural data with authorities, leading to the identification and arrest of several suspects, who are now in judicial custody.
According to the company, scammers used fake profiles with military ranks and set drop-off locations near cantonment areas to create a false sense of authority. Riders were asked to transfer money via JazzCash or Easypaisa before parcel handover, after which the suspects blocked contact and disappeared. The case remains under investigation.
