Bushra Bibi surrenders in Toshakhana case

Rawalpindi: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s wife Bushra surrendered after the accountability court’s verdict in the Toshakhana case on Wednesday.

Bushra Bibi arrived at Adiala jail and surrendered before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) who were already there to arrest her after the conviction.

Earlier the day, an accountability court sentenced former premier Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi to 14 years imprisonment in the Toshakhana case.

Judge Muhammad Bashir announced the verdict, also disqualifying the former prime minister for 10 years while handing over a fine of Rs1.573 billion — 787 million each — to the couple.

During the previous hearing, the court recorded Bushra Bibi’s statement under Section 342.

It also comes just a day after a special court formed to hear cases under Special Secret Act on Tuesday handed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi 10 years jail sentence in cipher case.

Special court Judge Abul Hasnat Zulqarnain announced the verdict during the hearing held at the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi.
