Imran Khan was in the international news recently after he failed to pass the no-confidence vote in the government of Pakistan and lost his position as the Prime Minister.
Imran Khan is in the news lately after he ‘steals’ the official BMW X5 from the government fleet. He was recently subjected to a vote of no-confidence in the parliament on account of which he lost his position as the Prime Minister of Pakistan. As the PM of any nation, the convoy of vehicles comprised a ton of luxury cars. However, he has reportedly taken the official BMW X5 with him after he was ousted from his office. The cost of this customised BMW is PKR 150 million (approx. Rs 6.20 Crore) due to the fact that it is designed to be bomb-proof and bullet-proof. The 6-year-old luxury SUV was bought for only PKR 30 million (approx. Rs 1.20 Crore).

Imran Khan ‘Steals’ BMW
According to the law, the government officials are supposed to deposit all of their gifts into the State Depository, or the Toshakhana. However, he insisted to keep the luxury car and other gifts he received from the foreign dignitaries including a handgun. This is a bit ironic since he has openly criticised the previous governments for using expensive cars. The Islamabad High Court has directed the newly-appointed government to make the list of things Imran Khan has taken as they belong to the state and not some individual. We shall see if he will have to return his prized possession after all.
