Elections season has started in Pakistan and the streets are getting warm with the sloganeering and parts of country are witnessing political rallies, and PTI is known for its rock concert-like atmosphere.

Unverified reports claimed that incident occurred in Sargodha, Punjab; however, the police have neither confirmed nor denied reports.
