ET, this is FYI. This news item should be on the front page in RED:

http://www.dawn.com/news/1107720/ecp-concludes-probe-into-na-68-rigging-allegations

"According to the probe, on a polling station number for the constituency, Nawaz Sharif secured 779 out of the total 1500 votes polled but these were written as 7879"

p.s. Knowing the (biased) moderators at ET i'm pretty sure this won't get published. But atleast you get the message nonetheless.
