RAWALPINDI: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Rawalpindi office has summoned Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan for the investigations into the Toshakhana case, on June 15 (tomorrow).

This is the third time the PTI chief and former prime minister, who was dethroned in April last year through a vote of no-confidence, has been summoned in a three-month time span, as the anti-graft watchdog had served the summons twice for March. However, the PTI chairman failed to join the investigations on both occasions.

On Tuesday, the NAB delivered a call-up notice at the ex-premier’s residence in Zaman Park area of Lahore. On November 19, the NAB took notice of the alleged non-disclosure of the actual value of gifts received by the former premier, his wife, and other cabinet members.

Sources privy to the matter said there was a discrepancy between the actual value of the gifts received by the former prime minister and the sale.

The cricketer-turned-politician had purchased the gifts at nominal prices being the prime minister and then sold them for millions of rupees, the allegations which he has blatantly denied.
