ISLAMABAD: Khawaja Asif, leader of the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) accused Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan of gambling 12.5 million dollars in the real-estate abroad, DawnNews reported.

Asif, while addressing a press conference in Islamabad, handed out hard copies of “evidence” against Khan’s investments.

He further alleged that Imran sent the funds, donated to his hospital, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre, through money laundering.
