Imran Khan, a former prime minister of Pakistan, was given a three-year prison term and a five-year political ban.
Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and a former Pakistani prime minister, was given a three-year prison term on Saturday in the Toshakhana case.
The Toshakhana is a division under the administrative jurisdiction of the Cabinet Division that houses priceless presents that foreign dignitaries and heads of other governments and nations have given to rulers, lawmakers, bureaucrats, and officials.
After the former premier of Pakistan was disqualified by the Election Commission of Pakistan for making “false statements and incorrect declarations,” the Toshakhana controversy about the sale of official goods obtained by the cricketer-turned-politician became a significant topic in national politics.
Khan was charged with abusing his position as prime minister from 2018 to 2022 to purchase and sell items that were presents from foreign trips valued at more over Rs140 million (USD 635,000).
Imran Khan, the former prime minister of Pakistan, was given a three-year prison sentence and a warrant for his arrest was issued by the court after the decision was announced. In addition, the court ordered the IG of the Islamabad Police to detain Imran Khan right away following the Toshakhana ruling.
