KARACHI: Army and ranger’s police have disappeared from some of the stations in Malir cantt, leading to bogus votes being cast, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) advocate Ashraf Sumo told The Express Tribune.
According to him polling staff, including two women, was being tortured and was taken hostage by the workers of a political party.
“Voters are being harassed and we have complained to the concerned Returning officer,” Sumo said. “But we don’t see any action being taken yet.”
Ps-127 is the only constituency where polling is going on peacefully, rest of the district, under the NA-257 constituency, is being hindered.

The report is untrue. I also live in Malir Cantt. All of us cast our peacefully. There was no rigging or any kind of pressure from any political party. Army was on route to polling stations and inside the polling stations police constables were present. The election here was truly democratic and transparent. Kindly refrain posting news irresponsibly. The area has educated and responsible citizens.
i live in makir cantt and no such sort of thing hapend at my poling station as well,every one was so supportive.its cant,its secure.
dear all,
I live in Malir Cantt and there was NO such thing as harrasment at the polling station i voted .. please note there are 5 stations in malir. there was no army at the stations (they were not required) but every route to and from the polling stations had army deployed.
to sum up, the whole process went smooth as anything.
@Aamir: There are certain rules when it comes to reporting, one of them being that unless expressly proven to be from a specific political party they cannot categorically state which one it was. Although they are seldom followed in Pakistan but there you are.
