The incident took place at the National Database & Registration Authority (Nadra)’s Landhi office. Sources said the Nadra has decided to cancel the stolen CNICs.

The sources said the stealing of the CNICs might have some connection with the upcoming by-election. They said the CNICs would be reprinted now and be issued before the January 27 by-poll.
