What is Toshakhana Case?
The Toshakhana case was filed against Imran Khan in August 2022. Imran was accused of not sharing details of Toshkhan gifts in the annual asset submission to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
Then, the ECP disqualified Imran from holding public office for a short period. Not only this, Imran is also accused of dishonesty, fabricated information and making false declarations. Later, Imran told the Election Commission that he had bought all the gifts for Rs 2.15 crore. He got Rs 5.8 crore on selling. But it was revealed that this amount was more than 20 crores.
