Imran Khan, Bushra Bibi indicted in Toshakhana reference by accountability court

Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi were indicted in the Toshakhana reference by an accountability court on Tuesday.

Accountability court Judge Muhammad Bashir conducted the hearing of Toshakhana and £190 million cases in the Adiala prison.

A five-member special prosecution team of the anti-graft watchdog pursued the Toshakhana reference against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his spouse Bushra Bibi filed against them by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

Bushra Bibi was also provided with a copy of the £190 million case today.

A day earlier, the court deferred the indictment of the former prime minister and his wife after the latter failed to appear before the court.

During the hearing today, NAB prosecutor Muzaffar Abbasi along with his team was present in the court. Khan was represented by his lawyers Latif Khosa and Umair Niazi.

Meanwhile, the former premier has challenged his disqualification in the Toshakhana case.

A five-member larger bench headed by Justice Shahid Bilal Hassan and comprising Justice Shams Mehmood, Justice Shahid Karim, Justice Shehram Sarwar Chaudhry and Justice Jawad Hassan will take up the petitions on January 12 (Friday).
