The Islamabad High Court (IHC) granted on Tuesday bail to Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Faryal Talpur in the money laundering through fake accounts case.

The IHC has ordered the PPP leader to submit Rs10 million as surety bonds, local media reported. In the last hearing, the IHC granted bail to PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari in two corruption cases. The bench said that it would announce its verdict regarding Talpur's bail petition on December 17 (today).

In her petition, Talpur said that she is the mother of a differently-abled child. She asked the court to grant bail so that she can care for her child until the completion of the trial. Talpur was arrested by the National Accountability Bureau on June 14.
