A candidate in the last general election to the National Assembly on Saturday demanded police protection after receiving threats.
Talha Baig, who contested the 2024 general elections from National Assembly constituency NA-237 as an independent candidate, said he was a social worker and was assaulted in 2017 and 2018.
He alleged that in his absence, unidentified persons recently broke into his house in Gulshan-e-Iqbal and threatened his wife and children. He said he has approached the courts to register an FIR and identify the suspects, but no arrests have been made yet.
