PTI’s Taimur Khan Jhagra has called on the district commissioner of his constituency in KP and other officials to “clarify their position” regarding the Feb 8 general elections.

Speaking to the media, Jhagra alleged, “He (district commissioner) was locked in a room, the SSP (senior superintendent of police), the CCPO (capital city police officer was locked in a room [during the polls].

“Did they give even a single statement after this?” he asked. “I am not levelling allegations against them but they should clear their positions about what happened in the room and whether they stand by these results,” he added.
