ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan will be indicted in the Toshakhan reference case on Feb 7, announced a district and sessions court in the capital city on Tuesday.
Additional Sessions Judge Zafar Iqbal is hearing the case filed by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for criminal proceedings against the PTI chief for allegedly misleading the officials about gifts he received from the foreign dignitaries during his tenure as prime minister of the country.
At the outset of the hearing, the court fixed Feb 7 for indictment of Mr Khan in the case. The judge has also summoned the PTI chief in his personal capacity today, who would skip the today’s hearing as he is recovering from wounds in Lahore after an assassination attempt in Wazirabad.
Mr Khan’s lawyer said he had submitted a medical certificate of his client during the previous hearing. However, the ECP counsel pleaded the judge to issue arrest warrant for the PTI chairman for not appearing before court.
