An important development has been made in the prohibited funding case against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder, as a challan charge sheet has been submitted to the court against Imran Khan and other accused individuals.
According to media reports, the PTI founder has been named as the main accused in the foreign funding case. The Registrar’s Office has also begun the process of reviewing the submitted challan.
Meanwhile, the hearing of the case has been scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday and will be held at the Banking Court in Islamabad.
The alleged foreign funding case of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has once again come into the spotlight in political and legal circles, with allegations emerging regarding funds received from abroad.
According to reports, in 2014, former PTI member Akbar S Babar filed a petition with the Election Commission of Pakistan, alleging irregularities in the party’s internal financial affairs.
The petition claimed that the party received funding from prohibited sources and that millions of dollars were allegedly transferred into party accounts through hawala/hundi channels via two offshore companies.
It is worth mentioning here that earlier, the FIA has expanded the scope of the prohibited foreign funding case against PTI founder and others.
In the last hearing, the Special Prosecutor informed the banking court that two more accused and one witness have been added to the case.
He further stated that the challan will be submitted at the next hearing. The court extended the interim bail of the accused Siraj Ahmed and Faisal Qazi until April 14 and directed that the challan be presented at the next hearing.
