Freedom around the corner: Imran Khan’s legal woes coming to an end


Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founding chirman Imran Khan has faced a barrage of cases since his April 2022 ouster from the position of Prime Minister.

His party has said that the more than 200 cases are politically motivated.

With his latest acquittal in the Iddat Nikkah cases, Khan technically is a free man. Apart from acquittals he has also been granted bails in the cases filed against him. Here is a look at the major cases he faced and their current status

May 9 riots:

Khan was booked in multiple cases related to the unrest that took place across the country on May 9, 2023 in the aftermath of his arrest from a courtroom in Islamabad.

During the chaos the mobs had attacked civilian and military installations.

Khan has denied responsibility and has been acquitted or granted bail in many of those cases.

Toshakhana (State gifts case)

Imran Khan was handed a three-year prison sentence in the ToshaKhana or state gifts case in August 2023.

He was previously arrested on May 9 in connection with the same case.

This was the first of four convictions for Khan, with the other three coming in the lead-up to the February general elections.

Although his sentence was later suspended, he remained in jail in connection with the slew of other cases filed against him.
