Islamabad: In a major development in Pakistan, a district and sessions court on Saturday convicted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman and former Prime Minister Imran Khan in the Toshakhana case, sentencing him to three years in prison.
This comes after a Pakistani high court on Friday set aside the verdict of a lower court and asked it to rehear a corruption case in which the embattled former prime minister was accused of profiting from selling expensive state gifts when he was in power
Legal experts say a conviction in the case could end Khan's chances of participating in national elections that have to be held before early November. (with Agency inputs)
