Authorities in Gujranwala, Punjab, have apprehended an individual for making false accusations of Quran burning and subsequently registered a case against the accused.
The police stated that Paras Salim Masih falsely accused his priest-in-law, Asif Nadeem, of burning the Quran and disseminated the clip via a fake TikTok account on social media.
This incident echoes past tragic events, such as the 2015 attacks on two churches in Lahore, where two individuals were burned alive amidst allegations of being attackers.
Similarly, in 2014, a couple named Shama and Shahzad faced torture and burning in a brick kiln by a mob in Kot Radha Kishan.
Not long ago, a woman in Achhra Bazaar, Lahore, was subjected to harassment by a mob who deemed the Arabic words on her attire as blasphemous.
Prompt police intervention in the latter incident thwarted potential harm, ensuring the woman's safety amidst the volatile situation.
