Islamabad: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has initaited a fresh investigation into the Toshakhana case and has summoned Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder chairman Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi.
The development follows a series of legal battles involving the former prime minister and former first lady.
According to media reports, NAB Rawalpindi dispatched a formal request to the Deputy Superintendent of Adiala Jail, urging the presence of Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi for interrogation. The summonses, issued by NAB, mandate both individuals to appear before the bureau on April 16.

The Toshakhana case revolves around allegations of mishandling gifts from foreign dignitaries. Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi were previously embroiled in two separate cases related to the state gift repository. In one instance, they were handed 14-year prison sentences, along with disqualification from holding any public office for 10 years, and a fine of Rs787 million. This verdict was later suspended by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) in April, which had initially been delivered in January 2024.
