Pakistan Court Dismisses Murder Charges Against EX-PM Imran Khan

A Pakistani Court on Monday dismissed murder charges against former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan.

PTI Chief’s lawyer Naeem Panjutha informed about the development on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and stated, “The court has dismissed the FIR registered against Imran Khan in Bijli Road police station in Quetta, once again Imran Khan has been red-faced in a false case, congratulations to all of Pakistan for the victory of justice.”

According to the reports, Imran Khan was charged with the murder in June and has been facing around 100 cases since his ouster in a parliamentary vote of confidence in April 2022, after he fell out with the powerful military of the country.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, the PTI chairman continues to be in Attock jail after a trial court in Islamabad sentenced him to 3 years in prison in connection with the Toshakhana case.

Also, the court imposed a 100,000 Pakistani Rupees fine after he was found guilty of concealing proceeds of Toshakhana (state depository) gifts that he received from foreign dignitaries as the country’s prime minister from 2018 – 2022.

Subsequently, the Election Commission of Pakistan disqualified him for 5 years from holding public office while following his conviction.
