Khan and Wife Get New Prison Time

Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, have more prison sentences. They are already in jail. Now they will stay in prison longer. They broke rules about official gifts.

The new sentence is for a jewellery set. Saudi Arabia gave it in 2021. Khan and Bibi did not follow steps for this gift. The state treasury is called Toshakhana.

They get ten years for breaking trust. They also get seven years for bad behaviour. They must pay money too. But these sentences will happen at the same time.

This is more legal trouble for Imran Khan. He was Prime Minister. He lost his job in 2022. He has many charges. His lawyers say the charges are not real. They want to stop him.

The Toshakhana case is about trust. Officials can buy gifts. Khan and Bibi did not follow rules. They did fraud. Khan's lawyers were not happy. The sentence came late on Friday.

This is one of many problems for Khan. He has over a hundred cases. His lawyers will fight this. They will ask the high court to change the ruling.
