Former Pakistan PM faces probed for sale of gifted necklace for Rs 18 crore

Islamabad: Top investigation agency of Pakistan has initiated an inquiry against former Prime Minister Imran Khan for allegedly selling an expensive necklace received as a gift when he was country’s PM.

According to the information, Khan had sold that necklace to a jeweller for Rs 18 crore and did not deposit it to the state gift repository.

As per the rules, the necklace received as a gift should be sent to the tosha-khana (state gift repository), but it was given to former special assistant Zulfikar Bukhari and he sold it in Lahore.
