Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari approached the Islamabad High Court on Tuesday seeking bail on medical grounds.
The former president is currently under treatment at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS).
On Monday, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had announced that the party will submit a bail plea for Zardari on medical grounds.
"We do not trust Pakistani doctors," the PPP chairman told media.
Bilawal who was accompanied by his sisters Bakhtawar and Aseefa added, “Though it was a difficult task to convince him to file a bail, Aseefa managed to convince him. We have hope that we will get justice.

Zardari was arrested in June after his bail application was rejected in connection with a high-profile money laundering case that saw millions allegedly siphoned out of the country.
