A group of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers met SP Rao Aslam at the Memon Goth Police Station on Thursday to register a case about firing at Sindh Assembly opposition leader Haleem Adil Sheikh and an assault on their party workers during Tuesdayâs by-election in provincial assembly constituency PS-88 in District Malir.
PTI Karachi chief and MPA Khurrum Sher Zaman led the delegation that comprised MPAs Saeed Afridi, Shehzad Qureshi and Malik Shehzad Awan, the PTI candidate for the PS-88 by-poll, and a team of lawyers.
Later, talking to the media, Zaman claimed that SP Rao Aslam refused to register a case of assault on Sheikh. âThe police refusal to register a case is utter injustice,â he said. âOn the polling day, the media had exposed everything that happened during the PS-88 by-poll, but despite that police have not registered a case.â

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf s Karachi wing warned on Thursday that it would resort to staging protests outside the Chief Minister s House if fake cases against opposition leader in Sindh Assembly, Haleem Adil Shaikh, are not withdrawn. They criticised the Election Commission of Pakistan for its rejection of their request to the ECP to facilitate the issue of production orders for Shaikh, who was sent on a two-day physical remand by an anti-terrorism court on Wednesday.
Censuring the ECP, Member of Sindh Assembly and the spokesperson for PTI Karachi, Jamaluddin Siddiqui, stated that the ECP had acted like the B-team of the Pakistan Peoples Party-led Sindh government in the by-polls.
