ISLAMABAD: A local court in Islamabad Tuesday decided to indict Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in the Toshakhana case.

Additional Sessions Judge Zafar Iqbal hearing the criminal proceedings against the PTI chief, announced February 7 as the date of the indictment.

The orders were issued by the judge after the PTI chief failed to appear before the court for today’s hearing despite his summoning.

At the outset of the hearing, the judge inquired Khan’s counsel Ali Bukhari about his client’s power of attorney.

However, the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) lawyer contended before the court that power of attorney cannot be submitted till Imran Khan appears in person, and urged the court to issue arrest warrants for the former prime minister.
