Sehwan police have arrested five officials of the education department for tampering with postal ballots in PS-80 (Jamshoro) — the constituency of former Sindh chief minister Syed Murad Ali Shah.

Shah — already tipped by the PPP leadership as future chief minister — is facing Sindh United Party’s (SUP) president, Syed Jalal Mahmood Shah, in the upcoming election.

According to police, SUP activists had caught four education department officials tampering with postal ballots that are meant for government employees on official duty during elections. One of the accused is on the run.
