In the Toshakhana fake receipt case, Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi have been granted bail.

 

An Islamabad court has granted pre-arrest bail to former Prime Minister Imran Khan in six cases and to his wife, Bushra Bibi, in one case. The cases include allegations related to the Toshakhana fake receipts. The court noted that the prosecution failed to present concrete evidence against the accused, stating that the receipts had not undergone forensic examination and there was no proof they were submitted to the Election Commission of Pakistan or the Cabinet Division.

In a separate development, a special court sentenced Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi to 17 years in prison each in the "Toshakhana 2" case, which involves allegations of illegally retaining a Bulgari jewelry set gifted by the Saudi Crown Prince. The court imposed a 10-year sentence under Pakistan's penal code for criminal breach of trust and an additional seven years under anti-corruption laws. Both were also fined a total of 16.4 million Pakistani rupees. (abc.net.au)
