A Rawalpindi court has sentenced former premier Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi to seven years each in a case related to their marriage during the latter’s Iddat period.

Senior civil judge Qudratullah announced the verdict on the complaint of Bushra’s former husband Khawar Fareed Maneka in a makeshift court at the Adiala district jail.

The verdict comes in the same week the ex-premier was sentenced to 10 years in the cipher case and 14 years in the Toshakhana case.
