Court Rejects Bushra Bibi’s Plea for Acquittal in Toshakhana-II Case

A court in Rawalpindi recently denied the acquittal plea of Bushra Bibi, spouse of PTI founder Imran Khan, in the Toshakhana-II case, a legal controversy surrounding alleged misappropriations from the Toshakhana, the state gift repository. This decision follows months of legal proceedings wherein the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has pursued charges against both Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi, accusing them of obtaining valuable items improperly from the Toshakhana​

The Toshakhana-II case specifically centers on a high-value jewelry set said to have been acquired unlawfully. Both Bushra Bibi and Imran Khan have consistently sought acquittals, asserting their innocence and challenging the accusations through their legal teams. The court, however, has maintained the charges, thus prolonging the high-profile legal struggle involving the former prime minister and his wife​

This ruling intensifies the legal difficulties faced by PTI leadership and highlights the ongoing scrutiny over the accountability of political figures in Pakistan.
