The Rawalpindi SSP operations said that the commissioner was not so far arrested. He claimed how police could arrest him before registration of the first information report.

Moments before, the commissioner announced his decision to step down from his position after claiming that he made returning officers under him to change results for at least 13 MNA candidates in Rawalpindi Division.

In a press conference, he said he was handing himself over to the police for election rigging and he deserved capital punishment. In a rather dramatic way, he said he should be hung at Rawalpindi’s Ketcheri Chowk.
