An application for the filing of a first information report against Rawalpindi Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chatha and returning officers (RO) of the ECP has been submitted to the Civil Lines police station in the garrison city over alleged poll rigging — a confession made by Chatha himself.

While mentioning the claims made by the commissioner, the application filed by lawyer Arsalan Ahmed said: “These actions prove that the commissioner and his ROs did not adhere to the oath of their designations.”

“People who acted against the country’s interest and betrayed the people should not be shown any leniency,” the application said, calling for an investigation.
