Federal agency report reveals police 'negligence' in Swat lynching incident
2024-06-23
[GEO.TV] A report by a federal agency on Saturday revealed police "negligence" in the case of a man lynched over the allegation of blasphemy
...the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence to a deity, or sacred objects, or toward something considered sacred or inviolable. Some religions consider it to be a crime. In Pakistain you can commit blasphemy by looking cross-eyed at a Koran...
in Swat, stating that the law enforcers shifted the suspect to the Madyan Police Station which turned out to be a "grave mistake".

A violent mostly peaceful mob had beaten a local tourist to death on Thursday night after accusing him of desecrating the Holy Koran, and later set his body as well as the Madyan Police Station ablaze. Several coppers were also injured during the ransacking of the cop shoppe.

The authorities concerned initiated an investigation to identify and arrest members of the mob and a recent report stated that "the suspect denied committing blasphemy in police custody".
