Imran Khan, his wife jailed for 14 years in Toshakhana case

A Pakistan court has sentenced former Pakistan Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, to 14 years in jail in connection with the Toshakhana (state gifts) case.

Besides, the couple have been barred from holding public office for 10 years, and they were penalised with Rs 787 million Pakistani Rupee.

This comes a day after, a Pakistan special court imprisoned Imran Khan and former Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood for 10 years for the breach of state secrets.

Accountability Court Judge Mohammad Bashir conducted the hearing at Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, where the former premier is currently detained. Both Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, received a 14-year prison sentence and a hefty fine, along with a 10-year prohibition from holding public office.

Notably, Bushra Bibi did not appear in court.
