RAWALPINDI: A special court of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Thursday dismissed the acquittal pleas filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, in the new Toshakhana case. The court announced that the couple will be indicted in the case on November 18.
The case involves the alleged illegal sale of a jewelry set gifted to Bushra Bibi by the Saudi Crown Prince when Imran Khan served as Pakistan’s prime minister from 2018 to 2022.
This new case should not be confused with the earlier Toshakhana case, in which the couple was sentenced to 14 years in prison and fined Rs1.57 billion in January. However, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) suspended the sentence in April, allowing them to remain free while the legal proceedings continued.
