Farmers' leader 'tortured' by police during sit-in succumbs to injuries

LAHORE (92 News) – A farmers' leader, who was allegedly tortured by the police in the sit-in, succumbed to his wounds in hospital on Thursday.

Responding to his death, Kissan Ittehad leaders said that the martyrdom of Ashfaq Langrial had exposed the face of the fascist government. They demanded that a case should be registered against the people responsible for his death.
