An accountability court on Tuesday indicted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his spouse Bushra Bibi in the Toshakhana reference filed against them by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
The decision was announced during a hearing in the case today which was conducted in Adiala jail — where the former prime minister is currently incarcerated in the case.
A five-member special prosecution team of the anti-graft watchdog perused the reference against the duo.
Accountability court Judge Muhammad Bashir conducted the hearing of Toshakhana and £190 million cases in the prison.
A day earlier, the court deferred the indictment of the former prime minister and his wife after the latter failed to appear before the court.
During the hearing today, NAB prosecutor Muzaffar Abbasi along with his team was present in the court. Khan was represented by his lawyers Latif Khosa and Umair Niazi.
Bushra Bibi was also provided with a copy of the £190 million case today.
Meanwhile, the former premier has challenged his disqualification in the Toshakhana case.
A five-member larger bench headed by Justice Shahid Bilal Hassan and comprising Justice Shams Mehmood, Justice Shahid Karim, Justice Shehram Sarwar Chaudhry and Justice Jawad Hassan will take up the petitions on January 12 (Friday).
