Imran Khan And His Wife Bushra Sentenced 14 Years Jail For Stealing Saudi Prince’s Diamond Watch

Islamabad. Just before the elections in Pakistan, court action has intensified against PTI leader and former PM Imran Khan at the behest of Army Chief General Asim Munir. After the Cypher case, now the special court has sentenced Imran Khan in the Toshakhana case also. The Special Court has sentenced Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi to 14 years in jail. Apart from this, a fine of more than Rs 15 crore has also been imposed against him. Not only this, both Imran and Bushra have been banned from holding public office for 10 years, blocking their chances of becoming PM. The most talked about case in the Toshakhana controversy is related to the diamond studded watch of Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Actually, after becoming Prime Minister, Imran Khan went on an official visit to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman had warmly welcomed his friend Imran Khan in Riyadh. The diamond studded watch and gold jewelery gifted by the Saudi prince to Imran Khan was worth Rs 16 crore or around $2 million. According to Pakistani media, the items gifted by the Saudi Crown Prince included a special watch, a gold pen, a ring and a set of cufflinks. Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi together kept it with themselves and did not deposit it in the government treasury of Pakistan.

Imran had taken money by selling the watch

Not only this, Imran Khan tried to earn money by selling it in Pakistan but it could not be sold. After this, Farah Shehzadi alias Gogi, a close friend of Imran Khan, sold it in Dubai. Dubai businessman Omar Farooq, who bought this set, said that he is a collector of unique watches. He said that Imran Khan’s team chief Mirza Shehzad Akbar had contacted him asking if he was interested in purchasing a special watch. When he agreed, the conversation began. Farooq told that he took the watch and other items to a watch dealer to get it certified.

Farooq said, ‘I asked him what kind of watch it was, then he told that it is a special watch made of diamond of Graff, on which the picture of Kaaba is made and it is a wonderful artwork.’ He told that the price of this watch was said to be good at 5 to 7 million dollars. Although its market price is 12 to 13 million dollars. After negotiations between the two, it was agreed to pay $2 million for the watch. The reason for giving less money was that Imran Khan wanted this money to be given to him in cash. Farooq said that he gave this money in cash to the representative of the owner of the watch. Let us tell you that the information about the sale of the watch reached the Saudi Prince and he was very angry at this bad action of Imran Khan.
