Overview

• Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, were indicted on charges of retaining and selling state gifts at undervalued prices during his 2018-2022 premiership.
• The allegations include the illegal sale of gifts worth over 140 million rupees ($501,000), such as diamond jewelry and luxury watches, including a Rolex valued at 85 million rupees ($305,000).
• This is one of several corruption cases against the couple, with Khan also facing nearly 200 criminal cases since his removal from office in 2022.
• Khan and Bibi have denied all charges, claiming the cases are politically motivated efforts to sideline Khan from politics.
• The court has summoned prosecution witnesses to testify on December 18, as Khan remains in jail despite bail in some cases due to other ongoing charges.
