KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s senior leadership in metropolis was nominated in first information report for allegedly vandalising office of Keamari Deputy Commissioner as recounting of Local Body polls’ votes remains underway. PTI protested outside office of DC, where workers of Pakistan Peoples’ Party were also present. Workers of two political parties resorted to stone-pelting as result of which two journalists were also injured.

A case was registered against leaders of PTI in the SITE Area Police Station on behalf of Peoples Service Centre’s manager. PTI leaders nominated include Ali Zaidi, Bilal Ghaffar, Ataullah, Saeed Afridi, Dawa Khan and other unidentified men.

“PTI leaders and workers vandalised office, damaged vehicles, and took office belongings, including laptops. As result of firing amid chaos, three citizens were also injured,” FIR stated. In response, Zaidi condemned registration of case against him and his fellow leaders. “Attack on us! Our people get injured! Media personnel get injured! And they cut FIR on us! #ZardariMafia at work!,” Zaidi wrote on Twitter in post that also contained images of FIR.
