Court approves Imran, Bushra’s 7-day physical remand in Toshakhana case
RAWALPINDI: An accountability court has approved a seven-day remand of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, in the newly filed Toshakhana reference.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had sought a 14-day remand of the couple, but the court turned down the request and asked the anti-graft body to produce the suspects on July 29.
The anti-corruption body’s team had presented the couple before the court after the expiry of their previous eight-day remand and also submitted a progress report to the judge.
The 71-year-old cricketer-turned-politician has been in prison for almost a year now in three cases — the Toshakhana case, cipher case, and the un-Islamic marriage case. His wife, Bushra Bibi, has also been behind bars for months.
However, a court suspended his sentence in the Toshakhana case, while other courts overturned his convictions in the cipher and iddat cases, respectively.
While there were hopes for his and Bushra’s release in July, they were dashed when NAB arrested them on fresh charges related to the sale of state gifts.
