      <title>Explainer: The two Toshakhana cases</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30349503/explainer-the-two-toshakhana-cases</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Imran Khan and Bushra Begum were sentenced to 14 years in prison in the Toshakhana case on Wednesday. They were also ordered to pay fines totalling over Rs1.5 billion.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, questions were raised about the latest judgement, as Khan has already been sentenced to a three-year jail term in the case in August last year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The answer to this confusion is that there are actually two Toshakhana cases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first case was sent to a trial court by the Election Commission of Pakistan after it found that Imran Khan had not declared his assets properly in his nomination papers prior to the election in 2018.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The trial court eventually sentenced him to a three-year sentence on August 5. Minutes later, Khan was arrested from his Zaman Park residence in Lahore. However, the sentence was suspended later.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile on August 1, five days before Imran was convicted for corrupt practices in the first case, the National Accountability Bureau initiated proceedings in another Toshakhana case against him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The new case accused the former prime minister and former first lady of retaining 58 out of the 108 gifts they received while in office, worth Rs140 million .&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  sm:w-1/3  w-full  media--right  media--embed  media--uneven'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--newskitlink  '&gt;    &lt;iframe
        class="nk-iframe" onload="setInterval(()=&gt;{try{this.style.height=this.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight+'px';}catch{}}, 100)"

        sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-popups allow-modals allow-forms"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It also alleged that a jewelery set worth Rs1.5 billion was taken home by the couple for a mere Rs9 million.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is why the fine given by the accountability court is worth the same amount as the original price of the item taken away by the couple on underdeclared value.&lt;/p&gt;
