A list of 108 gifts received by former Prime Minister Imran Khan during his tenure was presented in the Toshakhana 2.0 case on Monday.

The case was heard by Justice Shahrukh Arjumand in a special court at Adiala jail.

Imran Khan appeared in court for the hearing, accompanied by his legal team, including Bushra Bibi, Salman Akram Raja, lawyer Gohar and Faisal Chaudhry.

A key witness from the Cabinet Division, representing the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), also testified in court. During the proceedings, the witness was cross-examined by Bushra Bibi’s lawyer, Arshad Tabraiz.

The cross-examination is expected to continue in the next hearing, with Khan’s lawyer Salman Safdar also expected to question the witness.

The prosecution submitted the list of 108 gifts received by Imran Khan during his tenure, which was officially recorded by the court along with a register of gifts.

The hearing was adjourned until January 2.

Earlier this month, a trial court finally indicted PTI founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi in a case related to alleged violation of rules of the state’s gift repository – Toshakhana – during the tenure of the former as Prime Minister to acquire a valuable set of jewels.

Special Central Judge Shahrukh Arjumand read out the charge sheet against the former prime minister and his wife in a courtroom at Adiala jail in Rawalpindi, where Imran has been detained for over a year. The PTI founder and his wife, who were present in court, denied the allegations.

According to the indictment, Imran abused his position to acquire a Bulgari jewelry set that the Saudi crown prince gave as a gift during the couple’s visit to Saudi Arabia between May 7 and 10, 2021.

The set included a ring, a bracelet, a necklace and a pair of earrings. According to evidence collected during the investigation, Imran and Bushra illegally kept the set.
