On Saturday, the former chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan, and his wife, Bushra Bibi, were arrested by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in connection with the new Toshakhana case.
The anti-graft watchdog team led by Deputy Director Mohsin Haroon at Adiala Jail carried out the arrest. The second Toshakhana investigation is reportedly focused on various expensive watches and jewellery. According to sources, Bushra Bibi has been implicated in the investigation and may face arrest due to her alleged lack of cooperation with the authorities.
The NAB has officially commenced its investigation into the matter to uncover any potential irregularities or misconduct. In May this year, a new case of Toshakhana misuse emerged against Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi. The NAB launched an investigation into the alleged illegal possession and sale of seven high-value watches and 10 other precious gifts, including diamond and gold jewellery. – INP
