Shah Mahmood's son Zain Qureshi to be investigated for vote-buying practices

District Monitoring Officer for PP-217, Haider Riaz, has issued orders for an inquiry against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) candidate Zain Qureshi, son of former foreign minister and PTI’s Vice Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi, for indulging in vote-buying practices during the by-election campaign in UC-44.

A complaint initiated through social media alleged that Zain Qureshi has offered a new motorcycle to each voter who can acquire 10 votes in his favour.

The inquiry letter states that such practices are considered corrupt and Article 218 (3) of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan allows the Election Commission to guard against corrupt practices. The inquiry is headed by Sadar assistant commissioner and DRTA secretary Multan.
