Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were indicted in the £190 million scandal reference during a hearing at the Islamabad accountability court in Adiala Jail. The court, presided over by Accountability Court judge Nasir Javed Rana, has requested five witnesses for the next hearing.
Both accused have denied the charges brought against them. Two applications by Imran Khan for a dental checkup and a general physician of his choice were approved. Alarming details emerged in the investigation report, revealing the disappearance of records related to the 190 million-pound scam case.
The report suggests a deliberate attempt to cover up illicit activities, pointing to the responsibility of Shahzad Akbar and Ziaul Mustafa Naseem for the loss of records. The missing correspondence with the UK’s National Crime Agency was confirmed by Asset Recovery Unit Secretary Manzoor Kayani. The report implies that the disappearance of records was intended to hinder the case investigation.
