A Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) worker succumbed to his injuries Tuesday after he was allegedly wounded in Swabi as police clashed with protesters.
Peshawar Nazim Mohammad Asim Khan confirmed that party worker Inamullah, president of Pehtal UC 39, had passed away.
Workers describe Inamullah as a young and passionate PTI worker who was at the front of the convoy clashing with police.
PTI workers allege that Inamullah was not treated in time owing to a delay in ambulances moving to the sit-in.
At present, party workers are charged despite having returned from Burhan Interchange, where their attempts to remove barricades were unsuccessful due to police using tear gas.
They are not at the base camp on the motorway, waiting for a nod from party leadership on how to proceed and what routes to take to the capital.
Led by KP Chief Minister Pervez Khattak, PTI workers were on their way to the capital on Monday night when they encountered intense tear gas shelling by police on Haroonabad bridge in Swabi.
Police and Frontier Constabulary personnel used tear gas shells to try and disperse thousands of stick-wielding party workers when they tried to remove barricades put in place by police.
TV footage showed protesters fleeing from clouds of tear gas after leaving the cranes where they were. But they have gathered again at the Haroonabad bridge under the command of KP Chief Minister Pervez Khattak.
Some protesters also fainted due to the shelling, while others were injured by rubber bullets.
Talking to DawnNews, KP government spokesman Mushtaq Ghani said 15 PTI workers had sustained injuries from tear gas shelling.
