A Pakistani court today indicted Imran Khan in the Toshakhana corruption case, in fresh trouble for the former prime minister who was arrested by paramilitary Rangers a day earlier from the Islamabad High Court premises.
Imran Khan, 70, has been in the dock for buying gifts, including an expensive Graff wristwatch, he received as the premier at a discounted price from the state depository called Toshakhana and selling them for profit.
Established in 1974, the Toshakhana is a department under the administrative control of the Cabinet Division and stores precious gifts given to rulers, parliamentarians, bureaucrats, and officials by heads of other governments and states and foreign dignitaries.
On Wednesday, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman was indicted in the Toshakhana case.
Mr Khan was present in the District and Sessions Court where judge Humayun Dilawar conducted the hearing.
The case was filed last year by the Election Commission of Pakistan and Mr Khan had skipped several hearings in the past months.
