Former PM Imran Khan Convicted in Toshakhana Case, Sentenced to Three Years in Prison

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, was taken into custody at his home in Lahore’s Zaman Park after a district and sessions court convicted him in the Toshakhana case on Saturday.

Khan, a prominent political figure and former cricketer, has been accused of manipulating his political position to trade foreign gifts from the state depository, amassing over 140 million Pakistani rupees ($635,000). These allegations, which Khan adamantly denies, were confirmed by Judge Dilawar, resulting in a three-year prison sentence and a fine of Rs100,000.

Khan’s arrest was swift, following a court-issued warrant. The conviction could jeopardize his political aspirations, notably his potential participation in the upcoming national elections.

A Journey Through the Toshakhana Case

The Toshakhana case has seen its fair share of courtrooms, including the Supreme Court and Islamabad High Court (IHC). On multiple occasions, Khan challenged the validity of the case against him. His primary argument was that the charges against him were inadmissible. However, his pleas were consistently dismissed, and he was personally summoned to the trial court for hearings.

The legal journey began in earnest on October 21, 2022, when the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) charged Khan with providing “false statements and incorrect declarations” about foreign gifts he had received in office. The election watchdog then initiated criminal proceedings against Khan.

Following his indictment on May 10, Khan’s legal battle unfolded in a series of hearings and appeals, punctuated by the IHC’s decision on July 4 to overturn the trial court’s ruling and order a reexamination within a week. Despite Khan’s repeated pleas for case dismissal and jurisdictional change based on alleged bias and procedural discrepancies, the IHC chief justice sent the matter back to the trial court for further investigation.

Today, the case culminated in ADSJ Humayun Dilawar’s final verdict. Despite multiple adjournments due to the absence of Khan’s representatives, the judge pronounced Khan guilty of corrupt practices, sentencing him to three years in prison.
