Taking to Twitter, Maryam shared scores of video purportedly showing unidentified persons carrying white bags and surrounded by enraged PML-N workers.
“PTI people caught red handed stealing bags full of votes by PMLN MPA Adil Chatta and Ataa Tarar. Seal was also broken. Police was a part of the plan to steal votes for PTI," she wrote on her twitter handle.
