Imran Khan’s pre-arrest bail plea in the Toshakhana case was rejected by the accountability court’s judge, Muhammad Bashir.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Deputy Prosecutor General, Muzaffar Abbasi, announced that the arrest orders will be implemented and the anti-corruption watchdog will seek the accused remand tomorrow.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) also reserved its verdict on Imran Khan’s plea seeking suspension of his conviction in the Toshakhana case, after the District and Sessions Court awarded a three-year jail term to the PTI founder.
Toshakhana verdict
The District and Sessions Court had also imposed a Rs 100,000 fine on the convicted chief of the PTI and declared the former prime minister ineligible to hold public office for five years.
The court stated that Imran Khan had deliberately submitted fake details of Toshakhana gifts to the ECP and was found guilty of corrupt practices.
