Toshakhana reference cases against Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi

Imran Khan and his spouse Bushra Bibi have been charged in multiple Toshakhana reference cases for retaining state gifts at discounted prices from Toshakhana.

In September 2022, Khan admitted to having sold four gifts, which included assorted watches, a ring, a pen and a number of cufflinks, all of which reportedly profited him more than 36 million rupees. The ECP disqualified Khan under Article 63(1)(p) on 21 October 2022 because Judge Dilawar Hussain ruled that he had not indicated in tax declaration that the proceeds were from Toshakhana. Khan's defence team said that taxes were prepared and filed by his accountant yet he was not allowed by the court to testify to this. Instead, the judge decided to issue the verdict.

It is legal to retain Toshakhana gifts at officially-determined discounted prices and to sell them.
