Police reached the residence of Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) after he was sentenced to three years in prison in the Toshakhana case earlier in the day.

Multiple media reports suggest that Khan will be shifted to Kot Lakh Pat jail in Lahore this afternoon.

Judge Humayun Dilawar of a sessions court in Islamabad has found former Prime Minister Imran Khan guilty in the Toshakhana case.

Khan has been disqualified for five years and given a prison sentence for three years.

He has also been fined Rs100,000. The judgement has also said that if the fine is not paid, the imprisonment can be increased by six months.

Khan’s lawyer Khwaja Haris was present in the court when the verdict was given out. Earlier, the Supreme Court (SC) rejected former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s petition to pause trial court proceedings in the Toshakhana case.

The former prime minister went to the apex court when he didn’t get relief from the Islamabad High Court (IHC) in the Toshakhana case.

Last year, on October 21, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) disqualified Imran Khan in the Toshakhana case for making “false statements and incorrect declarations.”
