KARACHI: Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Fakhruddin G Ebrahim’s laptop has been stolen from an office in Karachi, DawnNews reported.

Sources said that important data was stored on the CEC’s personal laptop when it was stolen. Sources have said that important documents were also missing from the office after the break-in.

There are conflicting reports as to whether or not the laptop belonged to Fakhruddin G Ebrahim.
