Enraged crowd in Pakistan lynches guy who is charged with blasphemy
(MENAFN) In Pakistan's eastern Punjab province, hundreds of Muslims converged on a police station on Saturday, seized a blasphemy suspect from his cell, brought him outside, and lynched him, according to authorities.
A guy named Waris had been detained by police, according to senior police official Babar Sarfaraz Alpa, for desecrating pages of a copy of the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam. He claimed that Waris had glued pictures of himself, his wife, and a knife on various pages of the book, exhibited them, and dispersed them across Nankana's rural area.
The Warburton police station was attacked by a furious mob of hundreds, according to Alpa, some of whom scaled a wall using a wooden ladder and unlocked the main gate. Waris was allegedly taken from his cell and the entire police station was looted, according to Alpa.
He also mentioned that “by the time police reinforcement could reach the scene the mob lynched the man and were about to burn his body. But police with the help of saner people in the area foiled their attempt.”
