Former premier Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi today were sentenced to 14 years in jail in the Toshakhana case.

Accountability Judge Moham­mad Bashir conducted the hearing at Rawalpindi‍‍`s Adiala Jail, where the former premier is incarcerated.

Both were also barred from holding any public office for 10 years and slapped with a fine of Rs787 million each. Bushra Bibi did not appear before the court today.

The verdict comes eight days before the February 8 general elections, which the PTI is contesting amid a state crackdown and without an electoral symbol.

It also comes just a day after a special court established under the Official Secrets Act sentenced Imran and his foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi to 10 years in prison for the breach of state secrets.
