Imran Khan, Bushra Bibi remanded into NAB custody for 8 days in new Toshakhana reference
An accountability court on Sunday approved an eight-day physical remand each for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, in a new graft reference. This order came less than a day after the PTI founder and his wife were acquitted in the iddat or illegal marriage case. Their hopes of being released were dashed as the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) arrested them in a new Toshakhana reference. newsbr eaking Additional Sessions Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka had previously overturned the couple's conviction, which had sentenced them to seven years in prison and a fine of Rs500,000 each. This conviction was based on Khawar Maneka, Bushra's ex-husband, moving the court against the couple's marriage, claiming their nikah was fraudulent. However, immediately after the verdict overturning their conviction, a team from the anti-corruption watchdog led by Deputy Director Mohsin Haroon arrested the couple at Adiala Jail
