Punjab Inspector General Dr. Usman Anwar has termed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) worker Ali Bilal’s death as an “accident” that was “sadly misconstrued,” refuting PTI assertions that the provincial administration was responsible for his murder.
According to the PTI, when party members and supporters demonstrated near Imran Khan’s Zaman Townhouse, police responded by cracking down. As a result, party worker Ali Bilal died due to police abuse and torture.
The post-mortem investigation revealed that Bilal sustained 26 injuries to his body, including a major head injury. In addition, the PTI worker died due to significant blunt trauma to his body, including a skull fracture and cerebral hemorrhaging.
During a news conference with Punjab’s interim chief minister Mohsin Naqvi, the IGP asserted that the evidence “clearly” demonstrated that the case was an “accident.” In addition, he asserted that no one attempted to murder the victim and placed the blame on the police. He noted that the primary suspect appeared “tense” on the CCTV footage.
The police officer stated that the accused “at one time attempted to save the victim and transport him to the hospital” and that the interpretation of the incident was rather “unfortunate.”

Moreover, he stated that although the individuals in the vehicle had assaulted Ali Bilal, they were not criminals and had attempted to save him. Yet, he warned, bogus films disparaging the administration and police were becoming widespread on social media.
According to Anwar, 31 CCTV cameras assisted in identifying the vehicle that caused the tragedy.
According to Naqvi, the PTI should cease spreading “baseless charges,” and his administration was not involved in the incident.
He criticized the PTI leadership for blaming the caretaker administration for Bilal’s murder and declared that he would not have to ‘curses and tweets’
In addition to stating that the IGP of Punjab would personally visit Ali Bilal’s father and that the Punjab government would provide financial assistance to the victim’s heirs, Naqvi emphatically refuted accusations that he had ordered the Punjab police to take action against PTI employees.
“They [the PTI] did the cops and me a big disservice. He stated that this should not have occurred, noting that it was a “cold case” and complimenting the police for their investigation efforts.
The caretaker CM stated that he would have responded differently to the allegations if he were not in the coveted position and that it was his “responsibility to bear such attacks with restraint.” Still, the PTI’s decision to file a first information report with murder charges based on assumptions was “too much.”
“I am not going to surrender. While I would rather return home, I will not give up, vowed the minister.
Yasmin Rashid, a former health minister and current PTI leader, held a press conference that was critical of the police and the government despite her knowledge of the “facts of the occurrence.” Naqvi criticized Rashid for his actions.
The individuals in the car “told her everything, but the PTI continued to blame the provincial administration,” he claimed. Additionally, the minister asserted that money was offered to Bilal’s father to corroborate the fraudulent report of his death.
Addressing an audio tape popular on social media, he stated that its truth did not require verification.
He disapproved of the PTI’s decision to host a rally in Lahore on the same day as the Aurat March and other events.
According to Naqvi, elections will soon be held in Punjab, and any law and order issues will break the peace.
