A list of 108 gifts received by former Prime Minister Imran Khan during his tenure was presented in the Toshakhana 2.0 case on Monday.
The case was heard by Justice Shahrukh Arjumand in a special court of Adiala Jail.
Imran Khan appeared in court at the hearing, accompanied by his legal team including Bushra Bibi, Salman Akram Raja, Barrister Gohar and Faisal Chaudhry.
A key witness from the Cabinet Division, representing the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), also testified in court. During the trial, the witness was questioned by Bushra Bibi’s lawyer, Arshad Tabraiz.
Cross-examination is expected to continue in the next hearing, with Khan’s lawyer Salman Safdar also questioning the witness.
The prosecution submitted the list of 108 gifts received by Imran Khan during his tenure, which was officially recorded by the court along with a record of the gifts.
The hearing was adjourned until January 2.
Earlier this month, a trial court finally indicted PTI founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi in a case related to alleged violation of norms of the state gift warehouse, Toshakhana, during the tenure of the former as Prime Minister to acquire a precious set of jewellery.
Central Special Judge Shahrukh Arjumand read out the charge sheet against the former prime minister and his wife in a courtroom inside Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, where Imran has been detained for over a year. Both the PTI founder and his wife, who were present in court, denied the allegations.
According to the charge sheet, Imran abused his position to acquire a set of Bulgari jewelry that the Saudi crown prince presented as a gift during the couple’s visit to Saudi Arabia between May 7 and 10, 2021.
The set included a ring, a bracelet, a necklace and a pair of earrings. According to evidence gathered during the investigation, Imran and Bushra illegally retained the device.
