LAHORE: Caretaker Chief Minister Punjab Mohsin Naqvi took notice of the death of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) worker Ali Bilal on Wednesday and claimed that he was not killed in police custody.
According to a spokesperson for the government, the CM ordered an investigation into the incident and brought all those books responsible for the episode. He said the videos posted by Imran Khan were old and made during the PTI ‘Jail Bharo Tehreek’ when the deceased was arrested by the police.
