Few days after PTI held "Haqooq-e-Sindh March", a photo of a burning rikshaw shared with claims that it was burned during PTI's march. Some users also demanded to punish the culprits. A twitter post by Muneeb Rizvi got 103 RTs & 194 likes. Similar posts put in a collage below.
During reverse image search, we found the same image posted on Nov 1, 2018 by some blue ticks. The same image was also featured in an article by ARY News on November 6, 2018 where it captioned "CJP takes notice of damage caused to property during protests"

Below is a screenshot comparison of the photo in the misleading posts and the 2018 post
Conclusion: The posts being shared with an image of rikshaw burnt is not from PTI's Haqooq-e-Sindh March. The image has been circulated online from 2008.
