Ex Pakistani PM Imran Khan, wife indicted over gifts

Under Pakistan's laws, government officials and politicians are allowed to keep gifts they receive while in office from foreign dignitaries, but must pay their market value and declare how much they earned from their sales. 

The hearing of the case was adjourned until December 18 after the indictment of Khan and Bibi.

This is the second such corruption case against the couple. Khan and his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, or PTI, have said all the cases against the couple are politically motivated and are designed to keep him in prison. He has been behind bars for over a year since his conviction in another case in 2023. 

Khan has been embroiled in nearly 200 criminal cases since his ouster in a no-confidence vote in parliament in 2022.
