PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah while addressing a press conference in Faisalabad alleged that in his constituency PP-113, "votes were burnt".

"When we saw the trend [in results], polling agents were stopped inside [polling stations]," he said.

"We were told that votes were burnt. New votes were stamped and included in the ballot boxes to balance out the result," he alleged.

"At some places, after the votes were burnt, they said that since they may be found as proof [of rigging], the ashes must be flushed."
