A widely circulated post on social media platform X gained traction on Sunday, with the claim that armed PML-N workers opened fire on a Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) election office in Lahore and killed a number of people. However, no one was killed in the incident.

According to fact-checking platform iVerify Pakistan, a post was circulating on social media platform X a day ago with the caption: “In response to the shoe attack on Hamza Shahbaz after committing the worst injustice against the worker of TLP, PML-N leader Ghazali Saleem Butt and others fired at the TLP office in Lahore’s Badami Bagh and martyred political workers.”

However, the actual number of TLP workers allegedly killed was not mentioned in the post. A photograph of an individual wearing a red jacket laying on the ground with his eyes closed and blood near his head was also shared with the post.

The post received over 300,000 views and 3,800 shares.
