LAHORE: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Monday summoned Bushra Bibi, wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan, in the Toshakhana case.
The NAB team arrived at Imran’s Zaman Park residence today to give notice to Bushra, who has been summoned on Tuesday, March 21 (tomorrow).
Earlier, the accountability watchdog had summoned the PTI chief and his wife to their Rawalpindi office on March 9 to investigate the Toshakhana case.
Imran’s summon notice was sent to his residence in Islamabad’s Bani Gala and his house in Chak Shehzad.
In the notice, NAB accused Imran of selling gifts received during his tenure, including four Rolex watches, an iPhone given to him by the Qatar Armed Forces in 2018, as well as valuable watches and other gifts sold against the law.
On Saturday, Additional District and Sessions Judge Zafar Iqbal cancelled the arrest warrants issued against the former premier in the Toshakhana case and allowed him to leave after marking his attendance without being indicted because of clashes between police and party activists outside the Islamabad Judicial Complex.
The hearing was adjourned till March 30 (Thursday) as the judge observed that the situation was not conducive for holding the hearing and appearance amid the turbulence and chaos outside the complex because of the intense fighting between the two sides.
Imran was scheduled to appear before the sessions court to attend proceedings on a complaint filed by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for allegedly concealing details of the gifts he had acquired from the Toshakhana in his asset declarations.
