– Minister of State for Law and Justice Barrister Aqeel Malik on Saturday said that the verdict announced against former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi in the Toshakhana-II case was fully in line with the Constitution and the law. He alleged that Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi deliberately undervalued a Bulgari jewellery set to obtain it at a fraction of its actual price, causing loss to the national exchequer. He added that accountability under the law was essential to uphold transparency and the rule of law. Earlier in the day, the accountability court awarded Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi 10 years’ imprisonment each in the Toshakhana-II case. The verdict was announced by Accountability Court Special Judge Central Shah Rukh Arjumand during proceedings held at Adiala Jail, where both accused were present at the time of the judgment.
