Unidentified men attacked PTI-supported independent candidate’s camp office in the Azizabad area of Karachi on Saturday night.
The incident took place at the main office of PTI-backed candidate Arsalan Khalid, who is competing for the NA-248 seat in the upcoming general elections, according to PTI Karachi spokesperson Falak Almas.
A video of the incident was uploaded by the party to its official X (formerly Twitter) account last night. It claimed that ‘MQM goons’ attacked PTI’s election office of NA-248 and PS-125 in the Federal B Area of Karachi.
The party stated, “Arsalan Khalid got a head injury and other people present were badly injured and valuables damaged.”Â
In the footage, Khalid was seen holding his head with blood on his clothes and posters.
