Former Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu and some of his party colleagues alleged that AAP workers were behind the attack on the Congress worker.
A Congress worker who was attacked in a village in Ferozepur over a fortnight ago died due to his injuries at a hospital on Tuesday, following which police added murder charge to the FIR filed in the case.
Former Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu and some of his party colleagues demanded action against the culprits and alleged that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers were behind the attack.
The Congress worker, Iqbal Singh (53), a resident of Kassoana village here, was attacked by three people with bricks on March 12, two days after the Punjab Assembly poll results were declared.
Iqbal Singh was grievously injured in the incident and was admitted to Guru Gobind Singh Medical College in Faridkot. His condition remained critical and he breathed his last on Tuesday, police said.
