Meanwhile, PTI claimed that Bilal died from police violence and torture, after staff cracked down on party workers and supporters protesting near the residence of PTI chairman Imran Khan in Zaman Park on Wednesday.

Imran slammed Punjab police brutality and the “incarceration murder” of his supporters, saying the actions of the Punjab caretaker government were tantamount to “blocking democracy”.

Imran reacted strongly to the incident, saying, “Ali Bilal was unarmed and our dedicated and passionate PTI staff were killed by Punjab Police.”

“Shameful is this brutality against unarmed PTI workers who came to an election rally. Pakistan is in the hands of murderous criminals. We will prosecute IG, CCPO and others for murder,” he added.

Khan on Saturday criticized Punjab Caretaker Chief Minister Muhsinakvi and Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Usman Anwar for calling the PTI worker’s death a “case of accident”, the Express Tribune reported.

The PTI chairman lashed out at Naqvi and Anwar using his official Twitter handle.

He tweeted: “In any civilized country, these two shameless people would go to jail for not only lying so blatantly, but for insulting the intelligence of our country. All the same dangerous thing that happens when a dumbass takes over. As dumb as they are.” (Arnie)
