The MDC-T has accused police in Zvishavane of confiscating voter registration certificates from its members as part of a plot to block them from casting their vote in the forthcoming harmonised elections.
MDC-T lawyer Herbert Tafa last week wrote to the officer-in-charge at Zvishavane Police Station demanding the release of the certificates.
Tafa alleges that two police officers, only identified as Constables Shuro and Zvenyika, seized the documents on June 9 to expedite investigations into alleged electoral fraud by Itai Pasura, the party's council candidate.
He warned the police that refusal to release the documents would leave his clients with no option, but to approach the Constitutional Court.
MDC-T Midlands South chairperson Lillian Timvius confirmed the matter.
