Shortly after a friend of Imran Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, departed Pakistan, an image of her travelling in an aircraft with a designer handbag circulated on social media. Farah Khan, a friend, left for Dubai on Sunday after being accused of corruption in the midst of the country’s political instability.
The image, which has gone viral on Twitter, shows Khan in a flight with the suitcase close to her feet. It’s unclear when the photo was taken.
Opposition leaders in Pakistan have alleged that the bag is worth $100,000. “Farah Khan, Bushra’s frontwoman who fled. The purse she is carrying is worth $90,000. Yes, that is ninety thousand dollars “Romina Khurshid Alam, head of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), tweeted her support.

Other Twitter users have commented on the photo as well. “Traveling a private jet to Dubai costs less than 50,000 US dollars. Hermes sandals, “a user stated. Khan’s spouse had fled Pakistan before her.
Opposition parties in Pakistan claim Farah Khan was paid a large quantity of money to have officials transferred and reassigned according to their preferences, dubbing the scheme the “mother of all scandals” worth $6 billion Pakistani rupees ($32 million).
Maryam Nawaz, the PML-N vice president and deposed premier Nawaz Sharif’s daughter, alleged Khan committed the corruption at the request of Imran and his wife.
Prime Minister Imran Khan, according to Maryam, is concerned that his “thefts” would be exposed once he leaves office.
According to rumours, more of Khan’s close allies intend to depart the country if he loses the presidency.
Khan suspended Parliament on Sunday after the deputy speaker rejected a no-confidence motion against him.
The opposition parties petitioned the Supreme Court, calling the deputy speaker’s actions “illegal and unconstitutional.”
Meanwhile, President Arif Ali has asked Khan to stay as Prime Minister until a caretaker premier is appointed.
