Imran Khan's Plea Dismissed in Toshakhana Case

A Pakistani court has rejected the acquittal pleas of Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and his wife, Bushra Bibi, in the Toshakhana-II case, which involves allegations of misusing gifts from the state repository for public officials. The ruling was delivered by Special Judge Central, Shahrukh Arjumand, during a hearing conducted at Adiala Jail, where Khan has been detained. Following this decision, formal charges are expected to be framed against both individuals on November 18. The case has attracted significant public interest, as it forms part of a series of legal challenges faced by Khan and his party since his removal from office. The court's decision intensifies the legal proceedings, with both sides preparing for future hearings as the prosecution aims to advance the case.
