The National Accountability Bureau was investigating Khan, his wife, and others about the alleged acquisition of hundreds of kanals of land under the name of Al Qadir University Trust. This acquisition, it is alleged, resulted in a reported loss of $241 million to the Pakistani exchequer.
Several members of Pakistan's National Accountability Bureau, including the chairperson Lt Gen (Retd) Nazir Ahmed Butt, are former army officers, indicating the iron-hold of the Pakistani military-intelligence nexus dubbed as establishment, on the country's governance apparatus.
During the hearing on Tuesday (Feb 26), the AccountabilityCourt said that statements of 58 witnesses will be recorded in the case, Pakistan's Geo News reported.

Imran Khan remains jailed since August 2023. His party Pakistan-Tehreek-e-Insaf was stripped off of its election symbol bat during the country's Feb 8 national elections after the election commission accused it of flouting rules related to intra-party elections. The candidates affiliated with Khan's party, however, still won the maximum number of seats in the elections.
