Another fake entry has been registered under former PM Nawaz Sharif’s name, at a vaccination centre in Narowal on Wednesday.
“The suspects had used Nawaz Sharif’s name for the data entry […] they had used the former prime minister’s identity card to get the entry done,” the DC revealed.
As per the DC’s statement, the suspects, identified as Rauf and Saqib, have been arrested adding that action would be taken in line with the law.
