Court dismisses PTI founder Bushra Bibi’s plea for acquittal in Toshakhana-2 case.

Author:

The acquittal plea submitted by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and Bushra Bibi in the high-profile Toshakhana reference case has been rejected by Special Judge Central, Shahrukh Arjumand.

This ruling sets the stage for potential formal charges to be filed against the accused on Monday.

The case revolves around allegations of misuse of gifts from the Toshakhana, a state repository for gifts received by public officials, and has drawn significant public interest. With the dismissal of the acquittal plea, legal proceedings are expected to escalate, as both sides prepare for upcoming court hearings while the prosecution aims to advance the case.
