RAWALPINDI: In the recently filed Toshakhana reference, an accountability court has approved the seven-day remand of Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and his spouse, Bushra Bibi.
The court rejected the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) request for a 14-day remand of the couple and ordered the anti-graft agency to deliver the suspects on July 29.
After their last eight-day remand expired, the pair was brought before the court by the anti-corruption body’s team, who also provided the judge with a progress report.
The 71-year-old politician and former cricket player has been incarcerated for nearly a year in three separate cases: the un-Islamic marriage case, the cipher case, and the Toshakhana case. Bushra Bibi, his spouse, has also been incarcerated for several months.In the Toshakhana case, a court did, however, suspend his sentence; in the cipher and iddat instances, other courts reversed his convictions.
