Islamabad: An accountability court on Monday extended the physical remand of PTI founder Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi by seven days in newly filed Toshakhana reference by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
The decision follows a request by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for a 14-day extension to continue their investigations into allegations of receiving illicit gifts and selling them for profit.
Imran and Bushra will be presented in court again on July 29 for further proceedings.
Earlier on July 13, Imran and Bushra were acquitted in the Iddat case, however, PTI’s relief was short-lived as the accountability watchdog arrested the PTI supremo in a new Toshakhana reference.
In the new NAB reference, the couple is accused of purchasing a jewelry set from the Toshakhana and selling it. The set is valued at Rs75 million. –Agencies
