An accountability court in Rawalpindi has adjourned the hearing of the £190 million reference against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, until September 7.
The court, presided over by Judge Nasir Javed Rana, held the proceedings inside Adiala Jail. Both the PTI founder and Bushra Bibi were present during the hearing.
During the session, the defence counsel cross-examined the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) investigation officer, Mian Umar Nadeem, regarding the case. The cross-examination is expected to continue in the next hearing.
The court also announced that the reserved verdict on Bushra Bibi’s acquittal plea will be delivered alongside the final decision in the £190 million reference.
Defence lawyers Usman Gul and Chaudhry Zaheer Abbas represented the couple, while NAB’s Prosecutor General Sardar Muzaffar Abbasi, Amjad Pervez, and others appeared on behalf of the prosecution.
