Another audio leak of Bushra Bibi with ex-administrator of Bani Gala Inam Khan over Toshakhana gifts comes to fore
ISLAMABAD, Dec 16, (SABAH): Another alleged audio leak of Pakistan Tehreek-s-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, over the Toshakhana gifts has come to the fore in which she can be heard talking to the former administrator of the ex-prime minister’s residence in Bani Gala.
The former first lady can be purportedly heard talking to the ex-administrator, identified as Inam Khan, for taking photos of the Toshakhana gifts coming into Bani Gala.
The audio leak emerged days after an alleged audio clip of PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi and former special assistant to prime minister Zulfi Bukhari s conversation about the sale of expensive wristwatches gifted to the former premier by world leaders.
Bushra could be allegedly heard chiding Inam and instructing him to not take photos of the “things” coming inside their house and to only snap pictures of the “things” that are being taken out.
“From now onwards, you will not enter [my] house and stay where you are with those pictures,” the ex-first lady told the ex-Bani Gala administrator.
Talking to a private TV channel, the former administrator confirmed that this was his audio. “Yes, I was the one who spoke to Bushra Bibi about the Toshakhana gifts.”
Audio leaks of prominent figures — from the government and the opposition — have been surfacing in the last few months and have shaken the country.
The audio leaks have ranged from the former prime minister and his aides’ conversation about the alleged US-backed “threat letter” and the incumbent government ministers’ conversation related to their strategy on countering PTI’s moves.

Bushra Bibi: Waalaikum salam. About the items that came from the Toshakhana, did you ask Asfer to make its photographs?
Inaam: No, I didn’t ask.

Photos should be made of things going outside the house. Who makes photos of things coming inside the house? Proof of what? Why… why do you need to approve anything? Did you ask me? Did you ask me?
Asfer: Sorry jee.
Bushra to Asfer: What do you mean by sorry jee? Did you ask me? You people have made a mockery of this house. The MS is trusting us. He didn’t make any photos, who are you to make the photos?
Bushra Bibi to Inaam: And why has he sent you the photos?
Inaam: Bibi, I don’t know. I just received the photos that we’ve received these things and we’re sending them inside. I said okay, give it to Bibi, she’ll deal with it.
Bushra: What’s the point of this?
Inaam: Bibi, what are we going to do with the photos or…

In the earlier audio, Zulfi Bukhari was heard greeting Bushra Bibi and calling her “Murshid”. In reply, she asked about the caller’s wellbeing. She can also be heard saying that she has some watches of the former premier and that she wants him (Bukhari) to sell these as they are no longer in use. Mr Bukhari says he will sell these.
Later, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Zulfikar Bukhari on Thursday declared the alleged audio leak involving former first lady Bushra Bibi “fake” and demanded its forensic anlaysis. “Earlier, it was reported that the watch had been sold to a man, Umer Zahoor, but after serving him legal notice, a new story emerged. Mr Bukhari added that college students could also create audio like this. He said he was prepared to pay for the forensic analysis of the alleged audio.
