Islamabad court reserves verdict on Toshakhana reference

An Islamabad district and sessions court on Monday reserved its verdict in the Toshakhana reference filed against PTI Chairman Imran Khan by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). The reference was filed by the ECP last month, asking the court to proceed against Imran under criminal law for allegedly misleading officials about the gifts he received from foreign dignitaries. It claimed that Khan had “deliberately concealed his assets relating to Toshakhana gifts retained by him particularly in the year 2018 and 2019 […] in the statements of assets and liabilities filed for the year 2017-2018 and 2018-19”.
