- Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, have been sentenced to 14 years in jail for corruption, with Bibi serving her sentence at their home, which has been declared a 'sub-jail'.
- Bibi, a faith healer, met Khan when he sought her spiritual guidance, and their marriage in 2018 was a low-profile ceremony that contrasted with Khan's previous high-profile marriages.
- Khan, a former cricket star and prime minister, has been disqualified from holding any public office for the next 10 years and fined PKR 1.573 billion.
- The couple were convicted for illegally selling state gifts received during Khan's time in office, a case that has become a major point of contention in national politics.
- Khan's political career began to unravel four years after becoming prime minister, and he was ousted by a parliamentary vote of no confidence in 2022.
