The single storey residency located in block 2 of PECHS area is known as Kashana-e-Zaheer and cannot house more than three families at a time. Half of these bogus voters are women while 333 among them men.
The said house is located in the NA 251 constituency, which is considered stronghold of the provinces second largest political party MQM.In the previous elections, Waseem Akhtar and Raza Haroon of the same party were elected member National Assembly and member provincial assembly respectively.
