KARACHI: Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Fakhruddin G Ebrahim’s laptop has been stolen from an office in Karachi, DawnNews reported.

Sources said that important data was stored on the CEC’s personal laptop when it was stolen. Sources have said that important documents were also missing from the office after the break-in.

There are conflicting reports as to whether or not the laptop belonged to Fakhruddin G Ebrahim.

Police officials have said that the stolen laptop did not belong to Ebrahim.

SP Clifton Sarfraz Nawaz said the laptop had nothing to do with the election commission.
