Barrister Saif said the PTI leadership wanted to know facts; whether Parvez Elahi had an accident or he was tortured.

He demanded that a team of doctors from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa be given permission to visit him in jail and examine his condition.

If the medical team is not allowed to see Parvez Elahi, the government would take legal action, he added.
