Sheikhupura police officer Zahid Nawaz has vowed to send “troublemakers” who try to disrupt the election process on polling day to jail.

Addressing a press conference alongside RPO Sheikhupura Babar Sarfraz, the police officer said: “We will send troublemakers to jail who try to make an effort or even intend to disrupt the poll process under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) ordinance.”

“I have personally issued the election code of conduct letters bearing my signature to candidates contesting in Sheikhupura,” Nawaz added. “No candidate has permission to brandish weapons and harass any other person,” he said.
