Official presser deepens PTI man's death mystery.

LAHORE -- The mystery surrounding the death of a worker of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) on Saturday deepened further after both the PML-N-led federal coalition and Punjab's caretaker governments came up with a claim that Ali Bilal's death was a result of 'road accident' and did not occur in custody, as is being alleged by the party.

Earlier, the authorities denied a video clip [saying that it from of March 8] showing Bilal and other PTI workers in a prisoner van in which Bilal was saying that PTI won't spare those committing atrocities against its leadership.

A purported audio said to belong to PML-N chief organiser Maryam Nawaz also surfaced on Saturday, in which a voice believed to be hers could be heard saying: 'We should say sorry about the death of the PTI worker but we should give an angle that it was a result of an accident.'

On Saturday, the father of the deceased had retracted his earlier application in which he had nominated the caretaker CM and police officers after his meeting with the IGP. However, Bilal's sister rejected the government's claim and...
