PTI worker dies after falling from roof during police raid

A Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) worker, who was injured after falling from a roof during a police raid in Narowal, succumbed to his injuries in the hospital, it emerged on Monday.

The deceased has been identified as Yasir Malhi. The PTI district president confirmed his death in a video statement.

Following the tragic incident, family members staged a protest outside the Baddomalhi police station, demanding justice. 

Yasir’s young son alleged that his father had climbed onto the roof of their house during the raid, where police personnel struck him on the head with a brick.

However, a spokesperson for the District Police Officer (DPO) refuted the claims, stating that the police had no involvement in Yasir’s death.

A video shared on X (formerly Twitter) by journalist Muhammad Umair sparked outrage among PTI leaders and supporters. 

Many have accused that the raid was part of a government crackdown ahead of the November 24 protest.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has called on his party workers and supporters to march to Islamabad on November 24 against the arrest of party leaders and the 26th constitutional amendment, said the party’s top brass. 

He outlined three primary demands, including the rollback of the 26th Constitutional Amendment, the restoration of the Constitution to its original form, and the return of the party's “stolen mandate.” He also demanded the release of all political prisoners held without trial.
