Rawalpindi: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s wife Bushra surrendered after the accountability court’s verdict in the Toshakhana case on Wednesday.
Bushra Bibi arrived at Adiala jail and surrendered before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) who were already there to arrest her after the conviction.
Earlier the day, an accountability court sentenced former premier Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi to 14 years imprisonment in the Toshakhana case.
Judge Muhammad Bashir announced the verdict, also disqualifying the former prime minister for 10 years while handing over a fine of Rs1.573 billion — 787 million each — to the couple.
During the previous hearing, the court recorded Bushra Bibi’s statement under Section 342.
