NAB summons PTI chief again on July 17

Islamabad: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has summoned Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief again on July 17 in relation with an investigation into the possible misuse of position and the selling of Toshakhana gifts.

According to the call-up notification, the NAB's investigation has started.

Earlier, the Former Prime Minister was summoned by the NAB in accordance with the investigation into NCA £190 million scandal.

The PTI Chairman was ordered by the National Accountability Bureau to bring the full record on July 13.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had already called former first lady Bushra Bibi to provide evidence on the £190 million National Crime Agency (NCA) scam.

As per details, the accountability watchdog summoned Bushra Bibi – wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had launched an investigation against PTI chief, Bushra Bibi and others for the alleged gain of hundreds of canals of land in the name of Al Qadir University Trust, which reportedly caused a loss of 190 million pounds to the national exchequer.

After the Election Commission of Pakistan disqualified the PTI chairman for making "false statements and incorrect claims" last month, the Toshakhana issue became a significant source of contention in Pakistan's political landscape.

According to provisions 167 and 173 of the constitution, the former premier was deemed to have engaged in corrupt acts, according to the judgment. He will be subject to a criminal investigation for filing a fraudulent statement.

“As per the statement of PTI chief he had purchased the gifts from Toshakhana paying 21.564 million rupees while the Cabinet Division said that the gifts had a value of 107.943 million.”

“The amount in his bank account was around half of the value of the state gifts. Imran Khan was bound to declare the cash and bank details in his returns but he didn’t declare it,” the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) decision read.
