India, Sept. 11 -- The political storm over the death of Punjab labourer Gulzar Singh intensified on Thursday after a BJP delegation visiting his village was stopped, with the party alleging that AAP workers surrounded its leaders' vehicles.

The ruling party denied the charge, saying villagers had objected to politicians arriving at the village over Singh's death.

His family has alleged that he was pressured and harassed after questioning the minister and has also claimed that his cremation was carried out against their wishes.

The allegations have triggered a political confrontation in Punjab ahead of the assembly election.
