RAWALPINDI: A local court Tuesday indicted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, in a case of solemnising their marriage against Islamic laws.
Khan, a former prime minister who was removed from power in April 2022, and his wife have denied all charges in the case registered by Bushra’s former husband, Khawar Maneka, last month.
Senior Civil Judge Qudratullah read out the charges in the court set up in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, with the PTI founder in presence. However, his wife did not appear, which annoyed the judge as previous indictments were postponed because of her absence.
