Islamabad: Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, have been sentenced to 14 years in prison in the Toshakhana (state gifts) case, reports Dawn.

 

This comes a day after Khan received a 10-year prison sentence for leaking sensitive state secrets, dealing another setback to his electoral ambitions for the upcoming February 8 general elections.

 

Accountability Court Judge Mohammad Bashir conducted the hearing at Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, where the former premier is currently detained. Both Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, received a 14-year prison sentence and a hefty fine, along with a 10-year prohibition from holding public office.
